Watch: Micah Parsons forces fumble on first possession vs Vikings

Micah Parsons had a quiet game against the Packers, so he's making sure he's heard against the Vikings.

On the game's first possession, Parsons sacked Kirk Cousins and forced a fumble, which Dorrance Armstrong recovered. The Cowboys capitalized, scoring on the ensuing possession and grabbing an early 3-0 lead.

The Cowboys (6-3) are coming off a 31-28 heartbreaker last Sunday against Green Bay, where they let a 14-point lead slip in the fourth quarter. After the game, Parsons promised, "It won't happen again."

Clearly, he's trying to fulfill the promise. The play is Parsons' ninth sack and his third forced fumble through 10 games.
