The Dallas Cowboys are no longer "America's Team," apparently.

That distinction is better reserved for the Denver Broncos, who rank No. 1 in the 2014 Harris Poll, which sets out to rank all 32 NFL teams based on popularity in the United States.

The rest of the top five: New York Giants, Green Bay Packers, Dallas Cowboys and Pittsburgh Steelers. It's the first time the Cowboys weren't ranked No. 1 in this poll since 2006.

As for the Detroit Lions? They rank 13th, the highest they've ranked in the annual Harris Poll since 1998. That's quite a jump from 30th, where they ranked in 2010.

The Harris Poll surveyed 2,543 adults, 1,275 of whom follow professional football, between Sept. 10-17, 2014.

The adults were polled on various other categories, including whether they follow professional football (55% do), demographics and even who they think the Super Bowl winner will be this year.

28% say the Seattle Seahawks will win the Super Bowl this year, followed by the Broncos (18%). Just 2% believe the Detroit Lions will win the Super Bowl.
