After a stellar rookie year, Dallas Wings point guard Paige Bueckers showed her support for the Dallas Cowboys and wide receiver CeeDee Lamb during Sunday night’s 44-22 win over the Washington Commanders. The victory was a much-needed rebound for the Cowboys, who now find themselves in a better position within the division as Bueckers’ own star continues to rise in Dallas.
How Is Paige Bueckers’ Support a Big Deal for Dallas Sports?
The Cowboys bounced back with the commanding win after losing a close game to the Carolina Panthers, 30-27. With the victory over Washington, Dallas moves into second place within the NFC East division, one spot above the Commanders. The Cowboys now have a 3-3 record on the season.
Meanwhile, the reigning 2025 KIA WNBA Rookie of the Year, Paige Bueckers, is coming off a historic rookie campaign. Her season saw her break the WNBA single-game scoring record with a 44-point performance against the Los Angeles Sparks. She is also the first WNBA rookie to score 40-plus points on 80% field-goal shooting, breaking a Dallas Wings record for most points scored by a rookie and tying the franchise record for most field goals made in a game with 17.
That kind of production certainly earns a player some local celebrity status. Bueckers showed up to AT&T Stadium, home of the Dallas Cowboys, to take in the game. After the win, she took to Instagram to celebrate the Cowboys’ victory, saying, “How ‘bout dem Cowboys.” She even showed off her arm, throwing a few passes from the stands and linking up with Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels after the game to exchange jerseys.
Athletes supporting one another is always a great thing to see. During the 2024-25 season, members of the Indiana Fever were frequently seen supporting the Indiana Pacers during their historic NBA Finals run, which ended in a tough seven-game series loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder.
Sports fans have really gravitated toward Paige Bueckers since her time at the University of Connecticut, where she was a standout star who led the Huskies to the 2025 NCAA Women’s Basketball Championship. She also became a TikTok powerhouse, creating viral dances with her teammates.

Last season, the Dallas Wings drafted Bueckers with the first overall pick in the draft, making her the first player from the University of Connecticut women’s basketball program since Breanna Stewart to be taken with the top pick. She wasted no time proving her talent on the court, and many fans believe she will be a dominant player in the league for years to come.
As her star power on the court grows, so will the fanfare. With Bueckers coming out to support America’s Team, it will be interesting to see how these NFL stars return the favor next season.
