Can Micah Parsons Win 'Tanking' Argument vs. Jerry Jones? | Yardbarker

A dominant performance by linebacker Micah Parsons set the tone for Dallas, silencing speculation about the team’s future and emphasizing their fight for success. “I’m not done yet. I don’t plan on tanking.

If the higher-ups are looking for a draft pick, I hope that’s ruined, because we got a lot of football left to play,” Parsons said post-game.

“As long as I’m a part of this team, we’re always going to fight.” That is an admirable take for any player; it is what he must do. But that doesn’t mean a franchise has to agree. “Tanking” is a real thing, a real option.

For the moment?

Dallas is 4-7 and has three winnable games next up. Maybe Cowboys management will waffle on its view. I

n the end, the players can’t run the team, but …. could Micah win an argument against any “tanking” wishes of Cowboys owner Jerry Jones and the front office?

Parsons certainly did some of his talking on the field on Sunday as he filled the stat sheet with eight tackles, two sacks, and two stuffs, consistently disrupting Washington’s offense.

The Cowboys held the Commanders to four of 12 on third downs, with Parsons’ relentless pressure helping Dallas capitalize in crucial moments.

Despite accumulating 411 yards of offense, the Commanders struggled to execute when it mattered most.

Rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels threw for 274 yards and two touchdowns while leading the team with 74 rushing yards and a score, but his efforts were overshadowed by costly errors, including two interceptions.

The Cowboys’ offense found rhythm behind quarterback Cooper Rush, who completed 24 of 32 passes for 247 yards and two touchdowns. While Rico Dowdle added 86 rushing yards on the ground.

The final minutes delivered fireworks, starting with KaVontae Turpin’s electrifying 99-yard kickoff return touchdown to push Dallas’ lead to 27-17.

After the Commanders answered with an 86-yard touchdown pass to Terry McLaurin, Cowboys’ Juanyeh Thomas sealed the game with a remarkable onside kick return touchdown, securing a dramatic 34-26 victory.

“I’ve never been a part of something like that.

Letting them get that touchdown at the end really bothered me.

But that’s what I mean when I say we’re a good team. We’re slowly putting games together.” said Parsons, reflecting on the wacky finish.

The Cowboys aim to capitalize on their momentum and improve their standing with another strong performance. … Or, at least that’s what Micah and the players will want to do.
