Cowboys continue proving why no one replaces America's true team, and Jerry Jones knew it all along
The
NFL
's 2025 schedule release has ignited a ticket-buying frenzy among fans, and unsurprisingly, the
Dallas Cowboys
are leading the charge. With blockbuster matchups, prime-time slots, and legacy-driven rivalries, the
Cowboys
are not just playing football — they're headlining an entertainment spectacle that has the entire sports world buzzing. The Cowboys' games are commanding staggering ticket prices, and their presence in three of the top five most sought-after games speaks volumes about their enduring cultural relevance.
Despite Chiefs' rise, Cowboys still rule America's heart
According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, via Vivid Seats data, the season's most expensive ticket is for the highly anticipated opener between the Cowboys and the reigning Super Bowl champions, the Philadelphia Eagles. 'No game currently is in more demand than the Cowboys-Eagles opener, which has an average ticket price of $1,743 since the schedule was released,' Schefter reported. This Week 1 Thursday Night Football showdown, set for September 4 at Lincoln Financial Field, kicks off the season with a fierce NFC East rivalry that promises fireworks.
But that's just the beginning for Dallas. Their Thanksgiving Day showdown with the Kansas City Chiefs, another iconic matchup, is pulling an average ticket price of $1,491. Scheduled for November 27, this clash isn't just a game — it's being positioned as a potential record-breaker in terms of viewership. The stakes? Bragging rights, legacies, and the soul of America's most beloved sport.
A few weeks earlier, on September 28, the Cowboys will host the Green Bay Packers in another marquee matchup, averaging $1,295 per ticket. Dallas' involvement in these high-demand games isn't just a scheduling quirk — it's a reflection of their massive fanbase and the broader cultural pull they exert over the NFL landscape.
Outside of Dallas, notable contenders round out the top five. The Baltimore Ravens will meet the Buffalo Bills on September 7 in a Sunday Night Football clash, where tickets are averaging $1,183. Meanwhile, the Week 18 Jets vs. Bills game (date TBD) is drawing $1,169 per ticket, rounding off a list dominated by franchises with star quarterbacks and playoff aspirations.
Fans across social media, especially on X, are reacting with a mix of shock and excitement. One user wrote, '$1,743 for Cowboys-Eagles? That's wild—but I'd pay to see that opener!' That sentiment reflects the deep-rooted passion NFL fans harbor, especially for games where pride, division rivalries, and star power collide.
While Kansas City continues to ride the wave of Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce's dominance, the debate over who truly holds the title of 'America's Team' is heating up. Some believe the Chiefs may be the new face of the league. But former NFL wide receiver James Jones strongly disagrees.
'We talk about the Cowboys when they're winning. We talk about the Cowboys when they're losing. We talk about the Cowboys when they're average. We talk about the Cowboys when they're healthy. We talk about the Cowboys when they're hurt,' Jones said, emphasizing the unparalleled media obsession with the Cowboys.
Jones added emphatically, 'The Dallas Cowboys will forever be
America's Team
. That will never change.' In his view, Jerry Jones' branding of the franchise has built something untouchable — a legacy that transcends stats and standings.
This year's Thanksgiving game between the Cowboys and the Chiefs carries echoes of the past. The Chiefs, once the Dallas Texans, share an old-city connection with the Cowboys, and their rekindled rivalry is now set to unfold on the grandest stage. With football pride, ratings, and identity on the line, Cowboys vs. Chiefs isn't just the game of the season — it could be the defining cultural moment of the NFL's modern era.

Superman and X-Men star Nicholas Hoult meets Aaron Rodgers at Pittsburgh Steelers preseason game, roots for Europe hosting the Super Bowl
Hollywood Star Nicholas Hoult Meets Aaron Rodgers at Pittsburgh Steelers preseason game (Photo: X). British actor Nicholas Hoult may be more familiar with Premier League stadiums than NFL sidelines, but that didn't stop him from soaking in some American football over the weekend – and getting face time with one of the biggest names in the sport.

'It was cool,' Hoult said about their brief chat. Rodgers, who surprised fans with his offseason move to the Steelers, is one of the most well-known quarterbacks in the league. Now in his 21st NFL season, he takes over in Pittsburgh after spending most of his career with the Green Bay Packers and a short time with the New York Jets. Nicholas Hoult may not know all the details of the game, but it was clear he enjoyed getting a few minutes with the Steelers' high-profile new quarterback. Still learning the game, but loving the experience: Nicholas Hoult Despite being more comfortable around a soccer pitch, the UK-born actor didn't let the complexity of American football keep him from enjoying the experience. When asked about the game and the atmosphere in Pittsburgh, Hoult said, 'It was great.' The Steelers, entering the 2025 NFL season with new leadership under center, are using the preseason to iron out chemistry and evaluate depth.

NFL analyst Marcus Spears makes massive 3-word MVP prediction for Dak Prescott, 'Boom or...'
The Dallas Cowboys have had a hard time these past few years, and ESPN analyst and former defensive player Marcus Spears believes it's a 'boom or bust' situation for the team. NFL analyst Marcus Spears makes massive 3-word MVP prediction for Dak Prescott (mspear96/Instagram) With three straight 12-5 finishes from 2021-23, only to win one playoff game in that span, the Cowboys finished 7-10 and missed the postseason due to quarterback Dak Prescott being sidelined due to injuries. Two weeks ahead of the regular season, Prescott is back in shape, although pass rusher Micah Parsons has requested to be traded off, as reported by On3. Adam Schefter provided the latest update on the Parsons-Cowboys situation on Tuesday, August 19, and things don't seem to be looking good. 'I don't understand what has happened this offseason, but this is a boom or bust,' Spears said on Monday Night Countdown. 'This is like buying into a stock, and it could literally shoot through the roof, or you could lose all your life savings… I'm trying to figure out, one, how they will get Micah back into the fold? Will it be a contract or will it be a force? Or will Micah say 'I ain't doing nothing until something happens.'' Could Dak Prescott become MVP? Despite everything going on, Spears would still like to cut the Cowboys some slack and give them a winning chance if the team could negotiate terms with Parsons, and pair offensive addition George Pickens with CeeDee Lamb. 'Offensively, I think this team can be as dangerous as anybody if this young offensive line can come together,' he said. 'Dak Prescott, finally, has a No. 2 — 1B — with George Pickens coming over from the Pittsburgh Steelers. We already know how good CeeDee Lamb is. Can they get this run game going with this young offensive line? And I think Dak Prescott can be in the conversation for MVP. I think they have enough talent.' The Cowboys' first regular-season game is scheduled against the reigning Super Bowl champions, the Philadelphia Eagles, on September 4. – With inputs from Stuti Gupta
