FRISCO - The Dallas Cowboys have a difficult schedule.
Micah Parsons has an even harder answer.
Coming off a 7-10 disappointment and with new head coach Brian Schottenheimer, the Cowboys will have to navigate a tough stretch beginning before Thanksgiving. In fact, it will be historically challenging.
From Weeks 12-17, they will play the Philadelphia Eagles, Kansas City Chiefs, Detroit Lions, Minnesota Vikings, Los Angeles Chargers and Washington Commanders — all teams that won at least 11 games last season. The Cowboys will be the first team in NFL history to play six consecutive games against teams that all won 11+ games the previous season.
When ESPN's NFL insider Adam Schefter posted the tidbit to his social media, none other than Cowboys' All-Pro edge rusher Micah Parsons responded.
Wrote Parsons to the daunting schedule: "Fu$k em ! Let’s play ball!"
Cowboys fans reacted to Parsons' comment with collective frustration, most urging him to stop tweeting and start tackling.
"Micah slowly becoming all talk no walk," wrote on commentor.
Added another, "Prove it! Take over a game or two and dominate. Enough talk."
"No more podcasts you gotta lock in bro," said one.
And one commentor said, "Genuinely asking man, where do you find the confidence and lack of shame to continue talking like this when you’ve been opening your mouth since entering the league and have yet to back it up with results?"
Parsons hosts a successful podcast and - evidenced further by this - is quick to comment on social media. But it's clear that Cowboys are ready to end their 30-year Super Bowl drought and back up their words with some wins.
Tough schedule or not.
