Micah: ‘Extremely important’ Cowboys heat up.

FRISCO, TX — Micah Parsons is rested, reenergized, and ready to go. The Dallas Cowboys’ First-Team All-Pro pass rusher is returning from the team’s Week 7 bye, which has helped them become the healthiest they’ve been in a long time, as preparations build up for the impending battle against the Los Angeles Rams.

“The bye week is always good,” remarked Parsons on Wednesday. “Mike [McCarthy] usually gives us more time than most places because he knows how much [the season] wears on you.” “I thought the bye week was good, productive, and enjoyable.”

Parsons took advantage of the opportunity to relax and spend time with his family.

 

There are no longer any unbeaten NFL teams, as the Detroit Lions and San Francisco 49ers each have two defeats, while the Philadelphia Eagles lead the NFC East by one game over the Cowboys.

Going on a run following the bye week is critical for Dallas. That is exactly what Parsons anticipates.

“It’s extremely important, especially now that we’re heading into November,” he told reporters. “The heat of the schedule, the strength of the schedule — this is when it really starts to pick up.” It’s critical that we band together and tackle the injuries and difficulties that we endured early on.”

It’s a Cowboys’ defense that leads the NFL in quarterback pressures but also one looking to turn many more of those pressures into sacks, starting with Matthew Stafford, to give Dak Prescott and the offense more opportunities to find their groove going forward.
