Micah Parsons, Cowboys’ linebacker, secured the fumble recovery that would have won the game for Dallas. Parsons disagreed with the offensive lineman of the Jags on that play.
Parsons responded to Brian Baldinger’s breakdown of the play by tweeting: “Still no one talking bout this guy jumping on my neck?! But yet we can’t land on a quarterback!”
