How’s it going, NFL fans? If you caught Netflix’s “America’s Team: A Gambler and His Cowboys,” you might have had a nostalgic rollercoaster ride like former Dallas Cowboys quarterback, Troy Aikman. He recently hopped on Sportsradio 96.7 FM/1310 The Ticket to share his thoughts on the series, pointing out what he felt it might have missed.

Aikman emphasized the “what ifs” and “could haves” for the Cowboys during their glory days. He believed that the team had the talent and the right pieces in place to achieve even more than they did. While he appreciated parts of the documentary, he also felt that some aspects weren’t as accurate as they could have been.

The focus of the docuseries was on Cowboys owner Jerry Jones and the team’s success in the ’90s, featuring commentary from key figures like Aikman, Jimmy Johnson, Michael Irvin, and Emmitt Smith. Despite the star-studded lineup, Aikman thought that the documentary missed highlighting one crucial factor in the team’s success.

According to Aikman, the Cowboys’ hardworking players, driven by a commitment to winning, played a significant role in their victories. He credited Coach Johnson for pushing the team to new heights during offseason training and camp, emphasizing that their work ethic and dedication were key to their success.

Aikman’s insights offer a unique perspective on the documentary and shed light on the grit and determination that fueled the Cowboys’ dominance in the ’90s. For more Cowboys coverage, check out The Dallas Morning News for the latest updates.
