— Micah Parsons got one thing he wanted in his return to AT&T Stadium: He sacked his former quarterback, Dak Prescott. The rest of it, however, left him unfulfilled after his current team, the Green Bay Packers, played his former team, the Dallas Cowboys, to a 40-40 tie on Sunday night.
Though some on both sides weren’t sure how to feel about a tie in which the two teams kicked field goals in overtime — the Packers with just a second left in the extra session after they nearly mismanaged the remaining time — Parsons’ feelings were clear.
«I’m not even going to lie, I’m pissed off», Parsons said. «I’m very disappointed, just overall how we performed.»
He wasn’t talking about the Packers’ offense. He said he essentially apologized to quarterback Jordan Love, who threw for 337 yards and three touchdowns.
«I even told Jordan to the side, you know, ‘Thank you for having our back today'», Parsons said. «You know, that’s why it’s so pivotal to, you know you play complementary football. Because today, Jordan played like the player he was, and we let him down. We didn’t live up to the level of expectation on defense.»
Facing his former team almost exactly a month after he was traded to the Packers following an offseason contract dispute with Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones, Parsons finished with four pressures — two of which came in overtime, when he sacked Prescott on second-and-goal at the Packers’ 4-yard line. The sack might have saved a touchdown because after Prescott threw incomplete on third down, the Cowboys kicked a 22-yard field goal to strike first in overtime.
