FRISCO – The\u00a0Dallas Cowboys\u00a0Cheerleaders are undeniably having a better offseason than their namesake football team.<\/p>\n

No shade at new head coach Brian Schottenheimer or Jerry Jones’ blockbuster trade for receiver George Pickens, but the cheerleaders are stealing the spotlight leading up to next month’s training camp in Oxnard, Calif.<\/p>\n

First, their hit Netflix series America’s Sweethearts revealed a pay raise for team members to around $100,000 per year. And this week the world’s most iconic dance squad earned one of network TV’s brightest spotlights.<\/p>\n

The DCC appeared on\u00a0The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.<\/em>\u00a0They had to withstand Fallon’s faux enthusiasm about everything, and of course the host tried to join the routine at one point. But, as usual, the cheerleaders\u00a0managed to steal the show with their traditional high-kick number to AC\/DC’s “Thunderstruck” that can be seen before every\u00a0Cowboys\u00a0home game at AT&T Stadium.<\/p>\n

On Instagram, the\u00a0Tonight Show<\/em> shared some photos of the performance as well as some behind-the-scenes shots of the women preparing for the show.<\/p>\n
