Cowboys defensive coordinator Dan Quinn interviewed for head-coaching jobs but reportedly told teams he will stay in Dallas.

Dallas Cowboys star Micah Parsons put to bed any speculation that his tweet regarding Buffalo Bills GM Brandon Beane's comment about rookie contracts was a shot at Dak Prescott.

After the San Francisco 49ers defeated the Dallas Cowboys to move on the NFC title game, star wideout Deebo Samuel took to social media with his receipts.

Because in the eyes of Cowboys defensive coordinator Dan Quinn, this contest will feature a face off of mad scientists. The Cowboys have not faced a collection of weapons as versatile and talented as the 49ers this season. And yet, after eight games playing the bulk of snaps as the 49ers quarterbacks … how inexperienced is Brock Purdy anyway? The decision enabled the Cowboys to play with physicality and versatility, simultaneously covering for their lack of depth at cornerback while liberating defensive play callers to disguise applications. I feel like I can beat anybody.”The more Parsons beats his matchups, the more likely the Cowboys beat the 4-point favorite 49ers.

The Cowboys' unpredictable nature might actually be the thing that works in their favor this weekend against the 49ers' juggernaut.

Dallas Cowboys star Micah Parsons took to social media on Monday to call out the NFL after getting hit in the fourth quarter of Sunday's loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Then news broke Monday afternoon that Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts may not play. The loss of any team’s starting quarterback hurts. That doesn’t factor in his rampant ground threat, Hurts’ 747 yards and 13 touchdowns rushing each most among NFL quarterbacks this season. The divergence is highly relevant for a Cowboys team that just allowed 192 rushing yards in a 40-34 overtime loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. "If we look at the Eagles," Parsons wondered, "is it Hurts or the team?"

"He said he felt Tua Tagavailoa had a lot of similarities to Kurt Warner's game," Stark, NBC's Sunday Night Football sideline reporter, said. From 2000-2002, Stark was even ABC's Monday Night Football sideline reporter alongside Michaels and John Madden. “I have 10 to 12 stories that are prepared based on the game,” Stark explains. This attention to detail is on full display during this pre-production meeting in the truck, led by Sunday Night Football coordinating producer Rob Hyland. And having fun with it.”Through 14 weeks of Sunday Night Football, she's proud of how she has.

Dallas Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons responded to the backlash on Thursday after his comments about the MVP race and Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts went viral.

The Dallas Cowboys All-Pro linebacker understood the high-interest NFL climate, how the Philadelphia Eagles' fan base embraces the word’s “fanatic” etymology as exuberantly as any does. “No pun intended or no disrespect to Hurts,” Parsons said. The last defensive player to win the award was Giants outside linebacker Lawrence Taylor in 1986. Parsons is the reigning NFL defensive rookie of the year after a campaign featuring 13 sacks, three forced fumbles, 20 tackles for loss and 84 tackles for loss. He's currently the odds-on favorite for NFL Defensive Player of the Year, per BetMGM.

FRISCO, Texas — (AP) — Dallas linebacker Micah Parsons didn't wait until next week to get people talking about the Philadelphia rivalry again. Yeah, the young star knows the Cowboys face Jacksonville and Trevor Lawrence on Sunday before the Eagles and Jalen Hurts on Christmas Eve. Miller said, “I think it’s a little bit of both, man,” to which Parsons replied, “It’s system and team!”“I'm not trying to make no enemies,” Parsons told Miller. “I'm pretty sure they hate me,” Parsons said in response to the first question, about backlash from Eagles fans. “I’m going to worry about the Chicago Bears this week, mate, worry about this game,” left tackle Jordan Mailata said.

Ezekiel Elliott scored the go-ahead touchdown with 41 seconds remaining, and the Dallas Cowboys avoided a major upset with a 27-23 victory over the hapless Houston Texans.

The Dallas Cowboys were beating the Minnesota Vikings so bad that CBS switched the broadcast midway through the third quarter to a different game.

The Dallas Cowboys needed a statement win. They got one, demolishing the Vikings 40-3 in Minnesota behind an impeccable Dak Prescott and stifling defense.

The Dallas Cowboys sacked Kirk Cousins a career-most seven times in a 40-3 victory over Minnesota.

"I'm not trying to be rude," McCarthy said after a 31-28 overtime loss to the Green Bay Packers. McCarthy signaled the Cowboys to go for it on fourth-and-3, but Prescott's last-ditch attempt under heavy pressure fell short. Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy raises his voice when telling us OT penalties were “very, very, VERY frustrating” after he felt they’d had control. The Packers have now beat the Cowboys in nine of their past 10 outings, including playoffs. In what seems like a Cowboys tradition against Rodgers, Dallas played hard but left itself too little room for error.

He plans to implement it Sunday at Lambeau Field in head coach Mike McCarthy's return, facing a Green Bay Packers team led by McCarthy's longtime quarterback Aaron Rodgers. You can’t have no remorse in this game (or) it turns up to bite you.”So consider Parsons and his Dallas Cowboys teammates on full alert. But the Packers’ top running back, Aaron Jones, threatened a stout Buffalo defense two weeks ago for 143 rushing yards. The Cowboys know their rush defense (24th) is far inferior to their pass rush (fourth). “They’re trying to take away parts of our game,” Parsons said.

Add Ezekiel Elliott and Micah Parsons among the prominent members of the Cowboys actively recruiting Odell Beckham Jr. to Dallas.

The Dallas Cowboys got tremendous help from both sides of the football on Sunday to get the win against the Chicago Bears. Dallas is now 6-2 on the season.

David Montgomery fumbled in the open field after a catch in the third quarter, and Parsons fell on the loose ball. “You’re always gonna have ups and downs in the game,” Fields said while acknowledging he should have simply touched Parsons. His 10-yard toss to Cole Kmet got Chicago back within 13 after his gaffe on Parsons put Dallas up 42-23. Prescott was 21 of 27 for 250 yards with an interception in his second game back after missing five with a fractured right thumb. It was overturned on review, and Prescott's second TD pass was a 1-yarder to tight end Jake Ferguson instead.

ARLINGTON, Texas — (AP) — Dak Prescott threw for two touchdowns and ran for another, Micah Parsons returned a fumble for his first NFL score and the Dallas Cowboys beat the Chicago Bears 49-29 on Sunday. David Montgomery fumbled in the open field after a catch in the third quarter, and Parsons fell on the loose ball. Instead of touching Parsons down, Fields jumped over him. Prescott opened the scoring with a 7-yard run on a nifty play design by offensive coordinator Kellen Moore. His 10-yard toss to Cole Kmet got Chicago back within 13 after his gaffe on Parsons put Dallas up 42-23.

Dak Prescott threw for two touchdowns and ran for another, Micah Parsons returned a fumble for his first NFL score and the Dallas Cowboys beat the Chicago Bears 49-29.

Dallas Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons recovered a fumble and scored a touchdown for the first time in his career thanks to an error from Chicago Bears QB Justin Fields.

FRISCO, Texas — Micah Parsons had, according to Next Gen Stats, virtually no chance. He brought Parsons into his office for a closed-door meeting to discuss: Here are plays Parsons could make and didn’t. Micah Parsons hovered near the 25-yard line as Goff threw — then he bolted. Micah Parsons said Cowboys DC Dan Quinn inspired his goal line stop. “He just made the decision to say, 'I can go make this play,'” Quinn said.

“Welcome back,” the Dallas Cowboys linebacker told quarterback Dak Prescott, “to the s*** show.”Prescott wasn’t only a full participant in Dallas’ heaviest practice of the week. Returning from Sept. 12 surgery on a thumb fracture, Prescott is also ready to re-enter game plan. Expect perhaps some tape for comfort, but Prescott said he was not limited or on a specific rep count during practice. The Cowboys are 4-2 overall and went 4-1 in his absence behind backup quarterback Cooper Rush, the lone loss coming on Sunday night at Philadelphia. “I’m not going to act like I didn’t have a broken bone a few weeks ago,” Prescott said of continuing maintenance.

Dallas Cowboys defensive end Micah Parsons took to social media to call out NFL referees for seemingly favoring offensive players more than defensive ones.

The Dallas “Doomsday” Defense helped the Cowboys to two championships and five total Super Bowl appearances in the 1970s. And when our time comes, we’ve got to be sitting on the top of that mountain.”But how and when will it be fair to recognize what the Cowboys' defense is building? The 2013 unit led the league in points allowed, yards allowed and takeaways. The lone touchdown drive the Cowboys allowed each of the last two weeks was buoyed by ground games. “You see the (points allowed),” Parsons said.

ARLINGTON, Texas — Dallas Cowboys cornerback Trevon Diggs reached for the ball, his arm disrupting its trajectory just slightly. “Super huge,” Cowboys star linebacker Micah Parsons told Yahoo Sports from his locker after the 25-10 win. And yet, a review of his box score from Sunday seems almost erroneous: zero solo tackles, zero assisted tackles, zero combined. Last week, he intercepted New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones' final pass attempt in a 23-16 Dallas win. Both starting cornerbacks had interceptions, while safety Donovan Wilson recorded a game-high nine tackles including a quarterback hit on a blitz.

On Sunday, Washington Commanders head coach Ron Rivera adopted a broad lens through which to diagnose his 1-2 team's performance. The nine sacks allowed in a 24-8 loss to the Eagles resulted from "probably a combination" of factors, Rivera explained. On Thursday, Dallas Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons praised those other guys, specifically the Commanders’ weapons and capacity for explosive plays. Parsons had just asserted that to sack Wentz, he must get to Wentz’s spot faster than the quarterback himself. Dallas’ defense has allowed just one touchdown per game vs. Tom Brady’s Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Joe Burrow’s Cincinnati Bengals and Saquon Barkley’s Giants.

Dallas Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons said after Sunday's victory over the Cincinnati Bengals that he plays through pain "every week" to be there for his team and the fan base.

ARLINGTON, Texas — (AP) — Brett Maher kicked a 50-yard field goal as time expired, and the Dallas Cowboys held on to beat the Cincinnati Bengals 20-17 on Sunday after losing a two-touchdown halftime lead. After the Cowboys stopped the Bengals with about a minute remaining, Cooper Rush got the Cowboys in range for Maher to help Dallas win for the second time in his two career starts filling in for an injured Dak Prescott. A 10-yarder to CeeDee Lamb put the Cowboys (1-1) in range for Maher, who kicked a 54-yarder in the first half. Rush directed 75-yard touchdown drives on the first two possessions for Dallas after the Cowboys went without a TD in the opener against Tampa Bay. The Cowboys sacked Burrow six times in the first three quarters after he went down seven times in the opener against the Steelers.

Tom Brady and Mike Evans connected on a punctuating touchdown, Leonard Fournette ran for 127 yards and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers dominated the Dallas Cowboys 19-3.

Cowboys LB Micah Parsons joined Sports Seriously and shared his thoughts on Trevon Diggs and why the two could be the best defensive duo in the NFL.

The Associated Press 2021 NFL awards had a bit of everything, starting with Aaron Rodgers becoming the fifth player to repeat as Most Valuable Player. Not even one of Tom Brady's best performances — in his final season — came close in the MVP race, with the Buccaneers quarterback getting 10 votes. Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp got one vote for MVP, but he easily took top offensive player honors. Kupp led the NFL with 138 receptions, 1,829 yards receiving and 15 touchdown catches while leading Los Angeles to the NFC West title. Steelers edge rusher T.J. Watt, a unanimous All-Pro like Kupp, led the NFL in sacks with a record-tying 22 1/2.

NEW YORK — (AP) — Five players, including dynamic pass catchers Cooper Kupp and Davante Adams, are unanimous choices for The Associated Press 2021 NFL All-Pro Team. While Donald is a perennial pick — the three-time Defensive Player of the Year makes the team for the seventh time in his eight pro seasons — Watt is on it for a third time. My coaches and teammates are the people that put me in a position to make splash, help us win, and this recognition honestly doesn’t come without them.”Like Donald, although not nearly as often as the offense-wrecking DT, several players are making another appearance on the All-Pro Team. Three-time All-Pros are Colts linebacker Darius Leonard, Rams cornerback Jalen Ramsey, and Steelers defensive tackle Cam Heyward. Parsons has been so outstanding he's also considered a strong contender for the Defensive Player of the Year award.

Both Bateman and Parsons opted out of the 2020 season before the Big Ten postponed amid concerns about the pandemic. Purdue All-America receiver Rondale Moore, who opted out early like Parsons and Bateman, was cleared to play for the Boilermakers last week.

Viewing the loss of the 2020 schedule in a vacuum, however, is never the perspective that Fleck and his staff and players would take. The more time we have to build this football team, the better were going to be, Fleck said.

The original 2020 slate had plenty of advantages for the Gophers, with no Ohio State or Penn State on the schedule and no road games until October.
