Let’s talk football! We already know the Cowboys are “America’s Team” (even if the rest of the country doesn’t always agree). But according to WalletHub’s latest rankings, Dallas may flounder on the field—but, it’s one of the best NFL cities in America!

That’s right—Big D came in at #2, only behind Pittsburgh. Now, if you’re a Cowboys fan, you might be thinking, "Wait, what? How did a team that hasn’t been to a Super Bowl since the ‘90s land that high?!?"

Well, WalletHub doesn’t just rank cities based on recent success. They look at things like ticket prices, fan engagement, team history, and social media following. And let’s be real—Cowboys fans are EVERYWHERE and they're LOYAL! They might not have hoisted the Lombardi Trophy in decades, but their brand is still bigger than anyone else’s in the league. Valued at $10.1 billion to be exact.

But here’s where things get a little weird—Houston didn’t even crack the Top 10. In fact, they didn’t even make the Top 20.

Yup, while Dallas sits comfortably at #2, Houston is down at #25. Ouch. Even Philadelphia, a city that just made its second Super Bowl in three years, only ranked 22nd.

Meanwhile, Kansas City, home of former Texas Tech Red Raider Patrick Mahomes and five Super Bowl appearances in six years, ranked FIFTH. Make it make sense!

Here’s the full Top 10 NFL Cities according to WalletHub:

  1. Pittsburgh (Yes, the other team in Pennsylvania. Sorry, Eagles fans.)
  2. Dallas (Take a bow, Cowboys Nation.)
  3. Green Bay (Because Packers fans are basically a religion.)
  4. Boston (Brady may be gone, but the legacy remains.)
  5. Kansas City (Patrick Mahomes Effect.)
  6. San Francisco (Another Super Bowl appearance helps.)
  7. New York (Jets AND Giants? Not sure about that one.)
  8. New Orleans (Who Dat Nation forever.)
  9. Los Angeles (Because of LA's population maybe?)
  10. Minneapolis (The Vikings haven’t won it all yet, but their fans show up.)
