1 Crazy Statistic To Note For Cowboys’ Micah Parsons This Year
The Dallas Cowboys have turned things around in a major way defensively. In Mike McCarthy’s first season with the team, they had one of the worst defensive performances in franchise history. Dan Quinn took over the unit last season and began the process of getting things on track and this season they have reached a new level.
Dallas has been an opportunistic bunch, forcing 30 turnovers, which is the most in the NFL. They live in the opponent’s backfield as well as they have 49 sacks, 81 tackles for loss and 96 quarterback hits this season.
Leading the way on that front is linebacker Micah Parsons. Parsons has been one of the best pass rushers in the NFL since the Cowboys selected him in the first round of the 2021 NFL Draft. His versatility enables Quinn to deploy him in many spots along the defense, but it is his pass-rushing ability that truly stands out.
According to PFF, there isn’t a player in the league that gets into the opponent’s backfield as often as Parsons does. He has been credited with 79 pressures this season, which currently leads the league.
