The Dallas Cowboys won their fourth game in a row on Sunday afternoon, but the players did not feel like AT&T Stadium was their home crowd and Tony Romo is urging the fans to do better. 

The Dallas Cowboys are 4-1 and tied with the Philadelphia Eagles for first-place in the NFC East, following the team’s Week 5 win over the Houston Texans.

However, there is still one area where there is room for improvement and it will start with the fans.

During the game at AT&T Stadium, the crowd shots showed off a crowd that seemed to be primarily wearing red shirts. In fact, there were so many Texans fans that the Cowboys were reportedly forced to use a silent snap count.

That led quarterback Tony Romo to call out the fan base following the game as he said that the home fans need to do a better job at actually showing up to support the team.

“We played on the road today in that football game,” Tony Romo said when speaking to the media following the game. “We need to do a better job as a fan base.”

While there are a number of reasons why Cowboys fans may not be showing up — seat licensing, corporate atmosphere and high prices — it is probably likely that they will begin showing up in bigger numbers as the season goes on if the Cowboys continue to win.
