He continues: “Do something! I gotta get back in the locker room!” The ‘93 Super Bowl panned out well for the Cowboys, as they defeated the Buffalo Bills 52–17, winning their third Super Bowl in team history, and their first one in 15 years. Things worked out pretty well for Jackson, too, as he not only put on a legendary performance but also changed the game as far as future Super Bowl performances, as it was the first halftime show to achieve more viewers than the game itself.
Jackson’s 1993 show also set the record for achieving the largest U.S. TV audience for a music performance with 133.4 million viewers. Aside from recapping the success and madness, “America’s Team: The Gambler and His Cowboys” also dives into never-before-seen footage and interviews, and takes a closer look at Jerry Jones and his impact on the NFL. The docuseries spans eight episodes, which means sports fans will have plenty to keep them entertained.
You can stream the doc in its entirety on Netflix.
