Micah Parsons, the Dallas Cowboys' standout edge rusher, expressed the need for the defense to shine despite the offense's struggles, following a disappointing 34-6 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles.

Parsons, who recorded two sacks and a forced fumble, announced he would skip media sessions, accepting the fines due to frustrations over how his words are portrayed. This decision follows his comments regarding head coach Mike McCarthy's job security, which led to a private discussion between the two to clear the air.
