Even without an extension deal yet with theDallas Cowboys, star linebacker Micah Parsons seems like he’s raring to see action in the 2025 NFL season.
Following the release of the complete 2025 regular season schedules of all NFL teams, the Cowboys appear to have one of the toughest overall assignments in the league, particularly down the stretch of the campaign.
As noted byAdam Schefter of ESPN:
From Weeks 12-17, the Cowboys play the Eagles, Chiefs, Lions, Vikings, Chargers and Commanders — all teams that won at least 11 games last season.
Per @EpKap and Elias, the Cowboys will be the first team in NFL history to play six straight games against teams that all won 11+ games the previous season.
Parsons, however, is unfazed by the stiff outlook of Dallas’ schedule.
“Fu$k em ! Let’s play ball!” the 25-year-old,”sharedon X (formerly Twitter) as a reaction to Schefter’s post.
The Dallas Cowboys will be heavily tested in 2025

The Cowboys have their bye on Week 10 following a Week 9 game against the Arizona Cardinals, so Dallas will have some extra time of rest before the said tough stretch.
There will be that interesting matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders on the road in Week 11 then it’s a Week 12 rematch against the Philadelphia Eagles at home. The Eagles are also Dallas’ Week 1 opponent in Philly.
The Cowboys are looking to bounce back from a forgettable 2024 season in which they won just seven games and missed the boat to the NFL playoffs, ultimately resulting to their split with head coach Mike McCarthy. With a new head coach in Brian Schottenheimer and theaddition of a downfield threat in wide receiver George Pickens, Dallas hopes that 2025 will be a force again in the league.
