Parsons recorded five tackles (two solo), including his 10th sack of the season, in Thursday's 27-17 win over the Saints.
The rookie was often used as a spy to try and keep Taysom Hill in the pocket, and while Hill did wind up rushing for over 100 yards, his biggest runs didn't come while Parsons was on his tail. The 10 sacks not only continue to pad the Cowboys' record for a rookie, they make him one of only 13 linebackers in history who have reached double-digit sacks in their first NFL season. Parsons will look to extend his sack streak to six games in Week 14 against Washington.
Cowboys' Micah Parsons: Two sacks in Sunday's loss
Rotowire
Parsons recorded four tackles, including two sacks, in Sunday's loss to Kansas City, adding a third QB hit and a forced fumble.
With Randy Gregory (calf) and DeMarcus Lawrence (foot) both still on IR, Parsons was once again forced to line up as an edge rusher more often than not, and his speed and athleticism gave Kansas City's tackles fits. The rookie is only the second player in the last 20 years to rack up 40-plus tackles and eight-plus sacks in his first 10 NFL games, joining Von Miller in a very exclusive club, and he's the only player in the league so far this season with 60-plus tackles and five-plus sacks. Parsons' next sack will also break the Dallas franchise rookie record of 8.0, set by likely Hall of Famer DeMarcus Ware in 2005. In short, the Penn State product is doing things few other players in history have done, and Parsons has already established himself as the heart of the Cowboys' resurgent defense.
Cowboys' Micah Parsons: Leading tackler in big win
Rotowire
Parsons recorded six tackles (six solo), including a sack, in Sunday's win over the Falcons.
He tied Jayron Kearse for the team lead in tackles in a blowout win, and Atlanta's inability to sustain drives cost Parsons a shot at another double-digit tackle performance. The rookie linebacker should get more opportunities to make an impact in Week 11 against Kansas City.
