Micah Parsons and the Dallas Cowboys beat the Chicago Bears 49-29 in Week 8. During the third quarter at the Bears’ 3rd down and 17, Parsons charged the QB. However, he turned around and went after the receiver, made a fumble recovery and then ran for the touchdown. Pure video game stuff from the 23-year-old who fans think is a ‘lion-backer.’

Cowboys fans just can’t wait for Micah to do his magic for the Dallas Defense. Parsons have 36 total tackles this season for the Cowboys. However, some fans predicted this considering Micah’s dominating performance in the 2021 season.
Mr Parsons when he came to Dallas, I scored him according to his size, compared to heavier linebackers, but I found out he's a "BEAST"
I'VE BEEN A COWBOY FAN SINCE ROGER THE DODGER STAUBACK AND BEGINNING OF THE DOOMSDAY DEFENSE!
#1 ON BUCKET LIST IS SEE COWBOYS AT THEIR HOUSE 🏘️— Jerry Lin Yarberry (@STRETCHY6469) November 5, 2022
I made a prediction on your space before the season that the defense would sell more jerseys than the offense for the 1st time.

Both of my kids have a Parson jersey on their Christmas list… Parson is taking November and December!

Some kids in Dallas already know what they want for Christmas, it seems.
Micah Parsons has captivated Dallas, but can he take them all the way?
Micah Parsons hasn’t even reached his peak. But he is already a nightmare to line tackles in the NFL. Ever since DeMarcus Lawrence’s injury, Parsons has mastered the defensive end position and never let his starting position go. However, Micah is also a sweetheart on the sidelines, and fans have noticed that.

Micah Parson’s defensive abilities have drawn a lot of attention. Many think he is on a Lawrence Taylor-level career trajectory.
