What Micah Parsons of the Cowboys told Jayden Daniels

Dallas Cowboys star Micah Parsons discusses it all on his podcast, The Edge. Nothing is off limits with Parsons, from what happens on his team to conversations with other teams, players and coaches.

Earlier this season, he spoke on his podcast about 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 and shocked Washington, 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 had ever been a part of, full of “ups and downs.”

The wildest part of Sunday’s game occurred with less than 30 seconds left. Dallas led 27-20 and Washington had the ball at the 14-yard line with no timeouts left. While nothing is impossible, especially with the Commanders, things looked bleak for Washington considering they had won Hail Mary against the Bears four weeks earlier.

Then rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels found a weak spot in the Cowboys’ defense and dropped a dime to wide receiver Terry McLaurin, who outran the Dallas secondary all the way to the end zone for an 86-yard touchdown. All the commanders had to do was try one point at a time.

They didn’t, preserving the Cowboys’ victory.

After the game, Parsons showed his respect for Daniels and the Commanders.

He had more to say about Daniels during his podcast.

“I knew he was good, but I didn’t know he was that good,” Parsons said of Daniels.

“And this is what I said to him during the game: ‘Yo, J, if you all played like you did in the fourth quarter, the whole game, I think you could be unstoppable.’ I think he’s the caliber where you can have a complex system and say, ‘Just let him go.’ It’ll be very interesting to see how they use him in the second half of the season, especially given December football and of course their playoff hopes; I think the hype surrounding him is real. This 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 high praise from Parsons, who clearly expects a great rivalry between the Cowboys and Commanders in the next few years.

The two longtime rivals will meet again in Week 18, this time in Dallas.
