The Cowboys beat the Eagles, thanks in part to lessons learned from the loss to the Jaguars. AlbertBreer talks to Micah Parsons and Dan Quinn about a crucial win
“I mean, Dak does his thing, no matter what,” do-everything linebacker Micah Parsons told me by phone, as he was leaving the locker room postgame. “If you give him the run game, he’s gonna take the run game. If you give him the pass game and the chance to throw it, he’s gonna throw it. We got one of the best quarterbacks in the league, and he just showed that here today.”That 10–0 deficit? The pick-six? Learned from. Dealt with. Compartmentalized.
That’s why, even if he wasn’t particularly happy with how it materialized, the hair on the back of Dallas defensive coordinator Dan Quinn’s neck stood up when he saw his unit would have the chance to hold the line, when Minshew spiked the ball at the Dallas 19 with 33 seconds left, after a spectacular DeVonta Smith catch for 22 yards and a first down.
Then finally, on fourth-and-10, Armstrong’s initial burst into the backfield got Minshew off his spot, and influenced a hasty, off-balance throw down the sideline to A.J. Brown, who found himself in a Dallas team meeting—no fewer than five Cowboys defenders were in close vicinity to the Eagles’ star wideout.
“They ran like a tackle-over play, tried to run the ball off, rub me off, and the ball was exposed,” Parsons says. “And our guy just came in and knocked it from behind. What a big play—super big play. … I mean, the emphasis is the same every week, and that’s just get the ball back. Some games the ball rolls your way, sometimes it doesn’t, but today the ball was picking our way. Shoutout to the football gods.”They’d prove they could.
