Cowboys DE Micah Parsons calls out refs after loss to Dolphins

Dallas Cowboys defensive end Micah Parsons sent a risky message to the NFL on his Instagram following the team’s loss to the Miami Dolphins on Christmas Eve. Parsons felt he was held by the Dolphins offensive line several times during the game without a penalty being called.

Cowboys fans were upset with the way the game was called Sunday. One replay showed a Dolphins offensive lineman tackling a Cowboys defender during a run play. No flag was thrown for holding on the play.

Parsons wrote a message about the officiating (or lack thereof) in an Instagram story Sunday night. Parsons wrote:

“Free me dog!!! whatever I did to the officials I’m sorry !”

The picture in the background shows the Dolphins offensive linemen blatantly holding Parsons.

JPA Football wrote on X they think Parsons could be subject to a fine for his complaint on social media.

Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid and quarterback Patrick Mahomes were severely punished for their outbursts at officials during and after their game against the Buffalo Bills.

The NFL probably didn’t appreciate what Parsons posted on his Instagram Sunday night. Parsons could be asked to cough up some serious cash.
