Micah Parsons 'Pissed Off' by Packers-Cowboys Tie, Shouts Out Dak, Jordan Love

Green Bay Packers star Micah Parsons was "pissed off" by having to settle for a 40-40 tie with the Dallas Cowboys and "very disappointed" by his defense's performance.

Green Bay allowed 436 total yards, but it stayed into the game thanks to quarterback Jordan Love throwing for 337 yards and three touchdowns. Running back Josh Jacobs also had 86 yards and two scores on 22 carries.

"I even told Jordan to the side, you know, 'Thank you for having our back today,'" Parsons told reporters. "You know, that's why it's so pivotal to, you know you play complementary football. Because today, Jordan played like the player he was, and we let him down. We didn't live up to the level of expectation on defense."

The four-time Pro Bowler also acknowledged how well former Cowboys teammate Dak Prescott fared on the opposite side.

"You look how precise No. 4 looked tonight, just getting through his throws, getting to his receivers, the timing," Parsons said about Prescott. "I think he played a better game than we played defense. So, you know, shout-out to Dak, and I told him, I said, 'You go watch that film. You lucky if you wasn't on your s--t, it would've been a long day, it would've been a real long day for you,' but he played a hell of a game, and I give him kudos for that."

Coming into the game, all of the attention centered on Parsons making his return to AT&T Stadium following his blockbuster trade to Green Bay. Instead, this turned into a gold old fashioned shootout as Love and Prescott tried to match one another throw for throw.

The Cowboys and Packers combined to score touchdowns on six straight possessions in the second half. The run came to an end with Brandon McManus' 53-yard field goal as time expired in regulation.

For Green Bay, this was a big departure from the first three weeks, when the defense held opponents to under 300 yards in each contest.

The Packers now head into their bye. The extra time off will give the players and coaching staff a little more time to figure out what went so wrong defensively Sunday night.
