Micah Parsons might be going a little too far with his optimistic view of the Dallas Cowboys amid one of the most disastrous seasons in franchise history.
The Cowboys’ home loss to the Houston Texans on Monday night dropped them 3-7 on the season. With quarterback Dak Prescott (hamstring) done for the season, Micah Parsons’ Cowboys are far more likely to land the first-overall pick than they are to finish with a winning record.
Dallas was already a mediocre team with Prescott (3-5) before he required season-ending surgery. The defense has completely unraveled under new coordinator Mike Zimmer, allowing the second-most points per game (29.3) heading into Week 12.
Despite the nightmare season, Micah Parsons offered an overly optimistic perspective on the Cowboys’ season. Here’s what he told teammate Trevon Diggs on the latest edition of his “The Edge” podcast:
“I’m gonna put this out there, we’re a damn good football team. I know these scores ain’t showing it and I know people feel like we’ve got so many missing pieces…I think our defense has really turned things around. Up until that last quarter when they got that touchdown on defense, we only gave up those two touchdowns in that first quarter. Other than that we gave up six points in the other two quarters.”

But a team leader and franchise star like Micah Parsons has no choice but to look at the positives amid a miserable season. It’s easier to stay optimistic than to accept that this is an extremely flawed team put together by Jerry Jones, with no signs of a turnaround.
Micah Parsons Is About To Get Paid
2025 will mark the final year of Parsons’ rookie contract, and Jones would be foolish (then again, don’t put it past him) to drag out negotiations. Jones’ master plan to prolong new deals for Prescott and CeeDee Lamb blew up in his face, and he can’t afford to make the same mistake with Parsons.
The 2021 first-round pick has cemented himself as a top-five defensive player in football. The Cowboys need to secure his extension as soon as possible in the offseason, and then get to work in actually improving their roster.
PHOTOS: Everyone Was Saying The Same Thing About The Jaw-Dropping Hockey Fan Who Was Distracting The Crowd At Leafs-Devils Game

A photo of a female hockey fan who was busting out of her jeans at a Leafs-Devils game in early 2024 has gone viral online again.
Said supporter was pictured in the stands wearing a Devils Jack Hughes jersey, but that was probably the least interesting thing about her as a lower body part caused her to trend on X.
A new set of photos of her showing her assets off has popped up online ahead of the weekend, with one of the accounts posting asking, “Are you a hockey fan?”
