Netflix has premiered “America’s Team: The Gambler and His Cowboys,” an eight-episode documentary that traces Jerry Jones’s 35-year stewardship of the Dallas Cowboys. The series combines archival material with behind-the-scenes footage, including an extended sequence from the Cowboys’ 48-32 wild-card defeat to the Green Bay Packers on Jan. 14, 2024. Cameras captured Jones watching the Packers build a 27-0 lead from his AT&T Stadium suite and consoling players in the locker room after the game. Calling the result “the most humiliating, most pathetic, most embarrassing loss,” the 81-year-old owner says on camera that the setback “hurt us … more than any one we’ve ever had.” Beyond the playoff collapse, the docuseries revisits the franchise’s three Super Bowl titles between 1992 and 1995, the long-running rift and recent reconciliation between Jones and former coach Jimmy Johnson, and the Cowboys’ struggle to replicate past success. The release has revived debate across sports media over Jones’s team-building moves, including speculation about star linebacker Micah Parsons’s future.
