Micah Parsons Makes a RB Worthy Touchdown While Dak Prescott, Ezekiel Elliot and Coach Mike McCarthy React

Micah Parsons and the Dallas Cowboys provided some sensational entertainment during their victory over the Chicago Bears. Currently 6-2, the Cowboys trumped the Bears 49-29.

Prescott’s fractured thumb seems to no longer be a hindrance. The quarterback’s performance considerably aided the Cowboys’ win.

Micah Parsons steals the show

The Chicago Bears were hoping to soften the Cowboys’ lead in the third quarter. Bears running back David Montgomery fumbled a catch during the third quarter. Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons wasted no time and fell on the ball. Assuming that he was taken down, Parsons got up to celebrate but moved towards the end zone when his teammates signaled for him to run. Parsons would’ve been taken down if it wasn’t for Bears quarterback Justin Fields leaping over him.

ESPN Reporter Ed Werder tweeted Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy’s take on Parsons’ performance. “Obviously very excited,” he said, “But part of me is annoyed because he wants to be on offense already. Now, I’m going to have a hard time keeping him out of my office. His ball security is awful, so he still needs to focus on defense.”

Dak Prescott praises Micah Parsons

Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott had nothing but praise for his linebacker. In a post-game interview, Prescott said that he’s going to be hearing about Parsons’ need to be on the offense for a while now, especially after the touchdown. He also stated that he had also assumed that Parsons was taken down and had approached offensive coordinator Kellen Moore, but then realized that Parsons was up and running.

Prescott praised Parsons, saying, “That guy’s an athlete, that guy’s a hell of a player, one of the best in the league.”

“He’s a special player, ” he added. The quarterback also stated that the Cowboys were blessed to have Micah Parsons on their team.

A sidelined Ezekiel Elliott also spoke of Parsons’ touchdown. Senior NFL Reporter at Yahoo Sports Jori Epstein tweeted Elliot’s statement. The running back stated that Parsons’ run was a “10/10.” Elliot also highlights Parsons’ weak ball security and rated him a paltry 1.

The Cowboys’ victory and the road ahead

Several players stood out during the game. With Elliot ruled out because of an injury, Tony Pollard made use of this opportunity to the fullest. This was Pollard’s fourth career start. The running back had three rushing touchdowns and ran for 131 yards.

The Cowboys are currently second, behind the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC East. They will head into their bye week riding on this victory. Fans on will hope for a repeat of their performance when they take on the Green Bay Packers in their next game.
