The Denver Broncos have taken over the Dallas Cowboys’ spot as America’s team, according to a recent Harris Poll, which rated the top 10 NFL teams. The Harris folks conducted an online survey of 2,543 adults (1,275 of whom follow professional football) between Sept. 10 and 17.
Here’s what the poll found: “Viewership has been up for the season so far, and the majority of U.S. adults (55 percent, up slightly from 54 percent last year) continue to say that they follow professional football. A few of them may have changed which team they’re following most closely though, as the Dallas Cowboys have dropped to the No. 4 spot this year, after spending six years as the favorite team of adults who follow professional football.
“Replacing them at the top of the list are the Denver Broncos, moving up two spots. They’re followed by the New York Giants (who have moved up two spots to second) and the Green Bay Packers (who dropped one spot to third). Rounding out the top five favorite football teams are the Pittsburgh Steelers, up two spots from seventh to fifth.
“The Seattle Seahawks have really taken off this year, soaring up six spots to the sixth position on the list. The San Francisco 49ers have risen one spot to seventh, while the New England Patriots have dropped three spots to eighth. Completing the top 10 are the Chicago Bears, falling three spots to ninth, and the New Orleans Saints, rising one spot to 10th.
“The Jacksonville Jaguars are at the bottom of the list for the fifth year running, though at least this time around they’re not alone – they share the spot with the Tennessee Titans this year.”
