Considering there were only two afternoon NFL games during Week 1, there’s a strong likelihood you watched the San Francisco 49ers dismantle the Dallas Cowboys.

If you did, you probably noticed an overwhelming sea of red cheering in the Texas crowd. Were your eyes and ears deceiving you? Not in the least bit. For whatever reason, San Francisco 49ers fans came en mass to Arlington where they cheered on their favorite team to victory at AT&T Stadium.
Even the FOX broadcast noticed the absurdly large amount of San Francisco fans in the crowd, though Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones says he wasn’t even paying attention.
"Jerry Jones said he didn’t notice.“Did you count,” he asked of the number of Niners fans in attendance?“I just pay attention to the field,” he said.“I didn’t have my eye on the crowd,” Jones said. “I had my eye on those turnovers … I don’t have any knowledge or information about red shirts or anything.”"
There’s absolutely no way for Jerry Jones to have overlooked such, though after the loss he probably wasn’t interested in talking about a visiting fan base.
For those who missed the action, here’s a quick snap of what Jerry Jones apparently didn’t see.

San Francisco 49ers fans usually travel pretty well though that seems to be over the top, even for them. Granted, they did have a few months to prepare given it was the opening game on the schedule, still, that’s rather impressive.
