The Dallas Cowboys haven't hoisted the Vince Lombardi Trophy in two decades, but they continue to win in off-the-field competitions.

Jerry Jones' team annually ranks as the most valuable, most popular and most-watched team in the NFL.

So, it should be no surprise that the Cowboys have the "best" fans in the NFL, according to a study by Emory University.

Rather than using fan polls or votes, the university analyzed the last 15 years of "team performance, ticket prices, market populations, median incomes, won-loss records and multiple other factors" in its research.

Here is the complete list of the NFL's "best" fans, based on those factors.
