Cowboys' Micah Parsons says NFL owes him sack in performance vs. Lions

Micah Parsons has proven this season that his phenomenal rookie campaign was no fluke. The Dallas Cowboys star is averaging more than a sack per game, though his official stats do not reflect that — at least not yet.

Parsons has seven sacks through seven games. He should have at least 7.5. Parsons shared a video on Twitter this week that showed he tripped up Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff in the fourth quarter of the Cowboys’ 24-6 win on Sunday, but he was not given credit for it.

Dorance Armstrong was credited with the sack. It was difficult to tell if he also got a hand on Goff, but Parsons definitely did. Parsons either should have been credited for a full or half-sack.

Parsons, the reigning NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year, is a nightmare for opposing quarterbacks. He had 13 sacks and three forced fumbles last year and already has seven sacks (actually more) and two forced fumbles this season. The only thing that can stop him from piling up sacks is a statistical error. The 23-year-old is already well on his way to reaching what seemed like a lofty goal for the 2022 season.
