Linebacker Parsons recorded the only sack of the game along with two tackles, leading to the dominating 33-13 victory in week 14.

The Dallas Cowboys beat off its strongest divisional rival, the Philadelphia Eagles, at a whopping 33-1 and put themselves as the No. 1 NFC seed with a 10-3 standing. Led by promising players such as Dak Prescott, Stephon Gilmore, and Micah Parsons, the Cowboys dominated the field and reclaimed their NFC East lead.

Linebacker Parsons came out exceptionally well in the game, delivering a high-level performance. Interestingly, not until the very start of the game was he listed as questionable by the Cowboys, considering his injury report of suffering from the flu, which he recovered just in time before the prime game.

Filled with pride and joy for his team, owner Jerry Jones hyped the linebacker after the big win when he chuckled while walking alongside teammate Nahson Wright, ahead of Jones. When Parsons didn’t look in his direction, Jones took a playful shot at him, despite knowing the camera was rolling.

Sick, my a**, Micah.

Jones’ dig at Parsons seemed quite relatable to the Cowboys fans, as the linebacker looked anything but sickened with the flu. In fact, he recorded the only sack of the game along with two tackles, leading to the dominating 33-13 victory in Week 14.

Notably, this game was extremely crucial for both the Eagles and the Cowboys, as their playoff fate was to be decided in this game. And at such crises, a player like Parsons was sure he wasn’t going to let himself down from the flu. So he didn’t and pulled off an All-Pro performance.

What did Micah Parsons say about facing the Eagles before the mega matchup?

Speaking of the mega-divisional matchup between the Eagles and Cowboys, it was known to be among the most competitive and hard-headed games seen in the NFL. So does the linebacker Parsons believe when he called the game a brawl during the practice session for the week 14 game?

It's always one of the biggest games in football, if not the biggest. The intensity is always high, the emotion's high, everyone wants to win. You know it's a brawl. 
It's always one where you got to get the ice bags ready.

He said for the biggest divisional rivalry game.
The linebacker also highlighted how this week’s game against the Eagles brought high emotions and intensity to the team. Throughout this season, the former Penn State standout logged 11.5 sacks along with two passes deflected, 19 solo tackles, 42 combined tackles, and one forced fumble.
