Beating the Giants has Micah Parsons and the Cowboys quite confident.
The Cowboys’ star made a daring statement after the 27-20 win over the Giants on Thanksgiving that kept Dallas’ (5-7) faint playoff hopes alive.
Parsons had 1.5 sacks, one tackle for loss and 4 quarterback hits to earn “Madden Thanksgiving MVP” honors after Dallas’ second straight win.
“There’s been loads of trash talk on the market, talking about what difference can we make. We still got some guys getting back from the chamber,” Parsons said throughout the postgame on-field interview with Fox’s Erin Andrews. “I’m telling you all immediately, we’re coming.”
The Cowboys’ season remains to be on life support even after back-to-back division wins over the Cowboys and Giants, but they not less than have a shot.
NFL.com projected Dallas would have a six percent likelihood of constructing the playoffs should it beat the Giants.
The NFC’s fifth and sixth seeds seem destined to go to the NFC North’s No. 2 and No. 3 teams — currently the Vikings and Packers — and the seventh seed is up for grabs.
The Commanders — whom Dallas holds the tiebreaker over because of a Week 12 win — occupy the ultimate Wild Card spot with their 7-5 record.
The 2 teams will meet in Week 18 in Dallas.
Parsons previously said he wouldn’t allow the Cowboys to tank, and these two wins have ensured Dallas’ season still has meaning entering December.
“To be honest, it’s really been, ‘Why not us?’ Everybody counted us out. It was identical to, enough’s enough. We all know what we got, we all know what we will do here and I think in everyone of those guys here. I think we’re going to show it around and make a run.”
Parsons has helped the Cowboys right the ship in the intervening time after they dropped five straight games and seemingly play their way out of the playoff picture.
The previous Penn State star now has 3.5 sacks during the last two games, and 5.5 in his 4 games since coming back from a high-ankle sprain he suffered vs. the Giants in September.
Said Parsons: “As soon as I used to be in a position to get not less than 90 percent, it was about just fighting through it, getting back on the sphere because I do know I can assist out here.”
