The biggest storyline for the Dallas Cowboys going into Sunday’s contest against the Detroit Lions was
the return of quarterback Dak Prescott from a hand injury. But it was the defense that shined brightest in a 24-6 win for “America’s Team.”
And when that unit shines, Harrisburg native and former Penn State star Micah Parsons is a safe bet to have shined as well.
The 2021 NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year did, wrapping the game up in the fourth quarter
with a strip-sack of Detroit quarterback Jared Goff to give the Cowboys the ball back to kneel the rest of the clock out.
Parsons also had an impressive hustle play, where he chased down Lions tight end Brock Wright
Parsons followed the game up after with a simple message, tweeting “Can’t teach effort or passion !! 1-0″
He also took visitors before the game, chatting with a Make-A-Wish patient on the sideline.
