Among the questions asked online to 1,275 football fans surveyed between September 10-17, 2014 was “What are your two favorite National Football League teams?” The Broncos were the most popular choice.
From Harris Interactive:
"the Dallas Cowboys have dropped to the #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 NY Giants (who have moved up two spots to 2nd) and the Green Bay Packers (who dropped one spot to 3rd). Rounding out the top five favorite football teams are the Pittsburg Steelers, up two spots from 7th to 5th."
One would figure the results of this poll are, at least, partly a result of Denver’s recent success with Peyton Manning and the Cowboys inability to make the playoffs in recent years. Ironically, the Cowboys have become one of the best teams in football since the survey took place, currently holding a 5-1 record. Dallas might need to keep up such success and win a few games in the postseason if it its want to reclaim its top spot next season.
The reigning champion Seattle Seahawks moved from No. 12 to No. 6 this year. The Jacksonville Jaguars finished as the NFL’s least popular team for the fifth straight year.
