What Cowboys’ Micah Parsons told Jayden Daniels

Dallas Cowboys star Micah Parsons discusses everything on his podcast, “The Edge.” Nothing is off limits with Parsons, from what’s happening with his team to discussing other teams, players and coaches.

Earlier this season, he discussed on his podcast 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 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 less than 30 seconds left. 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, given 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 and dropped a dime to wide receiver Terry McLaurin, who outran the Dallas secondary to the end zone for an 86-yard touchdown. All the commanders had to do was make that point after the attempt.

They didn’t, preserving a Cowboys win.

After the match, 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 this good,” Parsons said of Daniels.

“And I said this to him during the game, I said, ‘Yo, J, if you all would have played the way you played 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 you can say, ‘Just turn him loose’. It will 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. It’s 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 over the next several years.

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