Dallas Cowboys star Micah Parsons discusses everything on his podcast, “The Edge.” Nothing is off-limits with Parsons, from what’s going on with his team to discussing other teams, players, and coaches.
Earlier this season, on his podcast, he discussed his former coach, Dan Quinn, who is now the head coach of the Washington Commanders. On Sunday, Parsons played against his former coach for the first time, shocking Washington with a 34-26 in one of the NFL’s wildest games of the season.
Parsons discussed the game, calling it one of the “craziest games” he’s ever been a part of, full of “highs and lows.”
The wildest part of Sunday’s game occurred with under 30 seconds remaining. Dallas led 27-20, and Washington had the ball at the 14-yard line with no timeouts remaining. While nothing is impossible, especially with the Commanders, considering their “Hail Mary” win over the Bears four weeks earlier, things looked bleak for Washington.
Then, rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels found a weak spot in the Cowboys defense, dropping a dime to wide receiver Terry McLaurin, who outraced the Dallas secondary to the end zone for an 86-yard touchdown. All the Commanders needed to do was make the point-after attempt.
They didn’t, preserving a Cowboys’ victory.
After the game, Parsons showed his respect for Daniels and the Commanders.
During his podcast, he had more to say about Daniels.
“I knew he was good, but I didn’t know he was that good,” Parsons said of Daniels.
“And I said this to him during the game, I said, ‘Yo, J, if y’all would’ve played like how y’all played in that fourth quarter, all game, I think you could be unstoppable.’ I think he’s the caliber where you can have a complex system and you can say, ‘Just let him loose.’ It’ll be very interesting to see how they use him in the back half of the season, especially with December football right here and obviously their playoff hopes; I think the hype is real about him. That is a really talented team and they have the ability to be really, really good for a long time with Jayden Daniels at quarterback.”
That’s major praise coming from Parsons, who clearly expects a big-time rivalry between the Cowboys and the Commanders over the next several years.
The two longtime rivals meet again in Week 18, this time in Dallas.
