The eight-episode football documentary premiered on the streamer on Tuesday, August 19, 2025, to mark the 25th anniversary of Jerry Jones taking control of the Dallas Cowboys and relive the years that redefined the franchise in the NFL.25 years ago, Jones bought the football team and the Texas Stadium for $140 million from H.R. Bum Bright. However, owning the team was not the only eyebrow-raising thing he did back then because he also fired the only coach the Dallas Cowboys had ever had, Tom Landry, who oversaw the team's three straight losing seasons, per ESPN.In Netflix's America's Team: The Gambler and His Cowboys season 1, Jerry Jones recalled his ultimate decision of firing Tom Landry and how it was a "great PR misstep" looking at it now. "The firing of Coach Landry was certainly one of the great PR missteps, maybe of all time. Because I still wear that," he said.

He claimed that he received death threats at the time, but while he could stop and cry after all the hate, he chose to keep going. "I'm not gonna take my marbles and go home. I can't, I burned all my ships when I landed," he added.Jerry Jones eventually replaced Tom Landry with his longtime friend and fellow University of Arkansas teammate, Jimmy Johnson, as the head coach, who is also featured in America's Team: The Gambler and His Cowboys season 1.
