Love 'em or hate 'em, the Dallas Cowboys are America's Team.

Each and every year, the Cowboys are near the top of the NFL viewership charts and this season is now different.

Through the first two weeks of the season, which featured games against the Cleveland Browns and New Orleans Saints, the Cowboys have already secured one of the league's top three most-viewed games.

Luckily, not nearly as many people tuned in to watch the team's disastrous performance against the New Orleans Saints in Week 2.

The two-time defending Super Bowl champions have the top two most-viewed games of the season to date, which included the NFL season opener against the Baltimore Ravens and an AFC Championship rematch against the Cincinnati Bengals.
