The No. 1 Dallas Cowboys' fan said she was devastated by Sunday night's playoff loss to the Green Bay Packers, but – speaking for Dallas fans everywhere – vowed, "We will be back."
Carolyn Price, of Lancaster, is better known simply as "Ms. Price" – the Cowboys' top fan.
For years, nobody has screamed more or louder for the Cowboys than the Lancaster home health care executive who also is a great-grandmother.
Going into Sunday's game, she said she was confident "that we would win," she said.
Her confidence never wavered, even with the Cowboys down in the first half by a score of 21-3.
"I never budge," she said. "I've seen them come back from more than that, so that didn't bother me. We had two more quarters."
Ms. Price never loses faith.
