The Dallas Cowboys are flying high these days. They have a monster offensive line, a superstar running back and are joyous after a big win at Seattle on Sunday.

They're sitting pretty with a 5-1 record. Now, it's time to pull the rug out from under them. You know that "America's Team" moniker that Cowboys fans just LOVE to throw in your face? Well, the Harris Poll is here to take all that away.

A recent poll (of 2,543 adults surveyed) says the Cowboys are NOT America's team. Instead, that honor goes to the Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos. They're followed on that list by the New York Giants and Green Bay Packers in the next two spots.

The Cowboys? They check in at No. 4. The rest of the top 10 (in order) are: 5. Pittsburgh Steelers, 6. Seattle Seahawks, 7. San Francisco 49ers, 8. New England Patriots, 9. Chicago Bears, 10. New Orleans Saints.

The Jaguars get the honor of being the least popular team in the league, which shouldn't come as a surprise to most people. To see the entire list, just go here.
