Micah Parsons can no longer stand the way the media treats his quarterback. The standout pass rusher for the Dallas Cowboys talked about how he feels the squad receives different treatment than a team like the Philadelphia Eagles and that there is a double standard. He said
“I just don’t condone the bashing of Dak Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys and have the same energy for the Eagles. We want the same energy for everybody. Cause there’s a whole bunch of bashing when it’s Dak Prescott, but not the same when it’s the Eagles. … Why is it that we are just scrubs and we’re nobodies that don’t deserve to be on the field and we’re just all talk. But there’s a hundred excuses for these other – these other teams. I’m tired of people trashing my quarterback. I’m tired of people trashing my team and that’s why I had nothing to say to the media this week.”
Micah Parsons is DONE with Cowboys slander 😯

There is no denying that the Dallas Cowboys are the NFL’s most divisive team. Regardless of the person under center, every quarterback on the squad will face harsh criticism. It happened to Tony Romo and many others before him, and it will continue long after Prescott is gone.
Parsons is furious because other teams seem to get away with not being scrutinized as much. All the same, it is what it is. The Cowboys are the only team that has the same impact on the game.
After the Eagles suffered their first loss of the season on Monday, the Dallas Cowboys battled their way to a 20-17 victory over the Los Angeles Chargers, improving their record to 4-2 and putting them back in the running for a postseason spot and the NFC East.
In this game, Micah Parsons had a critical sack during the fourth quarter.
