The Green Bay Packers and the Dallas Cowboys will clash this week, setting up the most anticipated match of the season. The game will see Cowboys’ decorated former linebacker Micah Parsons returning to the AT&T Stadium in Dallas for the first time since leaving the team this offseason following a long and hostile standoff.

Parsons may have left and established his name in Wisconsin, but the drama hasn’t ended. Ahead of the game, everyone wants to know whether there has been some closure for the players. Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott was asked about the same. Prescott has moved on from Parsons, and he deflected to others, suggesting that he wasn’t the one who wanted the closure after all. He told the reporters:

You gotta ask Jerry (Jones) and Micah. To me, the closure happened when the trade happened.

The two were thick as friends back in Dallas, despite which they competed against each other on a daily basis. However, this would be the first time that Parsons can actually hit Prescott. Earlier, in the Cowboys’ practice, Prescott usually wore a red non-contact jersey, which won’t be the case on Sunday.

Prescott, however, isn’t worried about Parsons’ attacks. He also admitted that it would be fun and he’s excited to play someone who’s a good friend. Furthermore, he added that the linebacker won’t be tackling him or even getting to him through the five frontmen in Dallas. Prescott said via ESPN’s Todd Archer:

He still can’t bring me down… But he’s got five guys up front, plus tight ends and running backs, that he’s got to get through. Then we’ll worry about if he can get to me.

Mike McCarthy has an idea about the Cowboys’ plan to stop Micah Parsons

The Dallas Cowboys traded Micah Parsons in the offseason and received defensive tackle Kenny Clark and two first-round draft picks. The move, in addition to the new defensive coordinator, Matt Eberflus, has shifted Dallas’ strategy from a single-star-centered defense to creating pressure on opposing quarterbacks through creative blitzes and coverage schemes.

As Parsons returns to Jerry’s World, the stakes to prove themselves are higher for the Dallas Cowboys management. Especially since how well Parsons has performed in his new attire. Micah Parsons has helped the Packers start the season with the league’s top scoring defense, allowing only 14.7 points per game.

Mike McCarthy, former Dallas Cowboys head coach, predicted the Cowboys’ plan of action to stop Parsons from getting that win for the Packers. He addressed the return of Parsons to Dallas in an appearance on Pat McAfee’s show, where he noted that the game would be electric.

McCarthy noted that the Cowboys will be planning to double-team on the Packers edge rusher to prevent him from putting pressure on Dak Prescott and potentially sacking him.

It’s going to be a great atmosphere…I know he’ll get a lot of attention. He’s the most disruptive defensive player I’ve ever worked with. They’ll double-team him the moment he steps off the bus.

In the absence of Parsons, the Cowboys’ defense has taken a toll this year. The Cowboys have recorded few sacks, and opposing passers have had success through the air. Over the past two weeks, they have allowed a 71% completion rate, 360 passing yards per game, and seven touchdown passes. In the game against the Chicago Bears, the Cowboys were railroaded as their defense failed to even get one sack.

However, they have shown some progress against the run. They allowed just under 110 rushing yards per game, which is lower than last year’s average of over 137.
