Bills-Cowboys Game Set Thanksgiving TV Ratings Records and That Means Buffalo is America's Team Now

The Buffalo Bills thrashed the Dallas Cowboys on Thanksgiving Day by a score of 26-15, and according to CBS, an all-time record of viewers tuned in to watch America's Team get pummeled. Well, depending on who you think America's Team is.

Hey, the Bills' jersey colors are in fact red, white and blue, even if that blue dominates the color scheme. Could we potentially call the Bills America's Team now?

Jerry Jones might have an aneurysm just by thinking about that possibility, but let's face the facts: The Bills are an up-and-coming team with a young quarterback at the helm, a stalwart defense, and the hopes of an entire city resting on its shoulders after having just recently snapped a painfully long playoff drought.

Meanwhile, the Cowboys haven't experienced much success in the playoffs since the 1995 season, when they won Super Bowl 30. Since then, they've famously failed to advance past the divisional rounds. Unless they quickly pick things up, the Cowboys might be facing another year without football past the middle of January.

And they were expected to be Super Bowl contenders this year! Not a middling team with a 6-6 record that might lose out on a playoff spot.

What could be better than watching the Cowboys getting smashed on Thanksgiving? Perhaps watching people debate whether they're still America's Team. Stephen A. Smith must have had a nice Thanksgiving.
