Watch: Micah Parsons tosses 49ers OL Mike McGlinchey

Dallas Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons may not have had a sack in Sunday’s 19-12 loss to the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC Divisional Round, but that didn’t stop the star linebacker from creating a viral moment.

On a first-and-10 play in the final minute of the second quarter, Parsons came around the right edge of the 49ers offensive line, blowing past tight end George Kittle and right into right tackle Mike McGlinchey.

Parsons, who’s 6-foot-3 and 245 pounds, easily tossed the 6-foot-8, 310-pound McGlinchey to the side with one arm, nearly sacking 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy and forcing an incompletion.

Parsons, who led the NFL in both quarterback pressures (98) and hurries (67), and had 13.5 sacks during the regular season, finished Sunday’s loss with just four tackles, a quarterback hit, and a pass defensed.

It’s just the second time in four playoff games that Parsons was held without a sack. The other time came last year, also against the 49ers in a 23-17 loss during the NFC Wild Card Round.

In fact, the 49ers are the only team that Parsons has played multiple times during his NFL career that he hasn’t registered a sack against.
