Dallas Cowboys 'Lion-Backer' Micah Parsons Moves To Halloween Pumpkin Patch in Costume

ARLINGTON - Micah Parsons walked off into the Halloween sunset, heading for a pumpkin patch, dressed oh-so-appropriately as a lion.

Micah, are you really going to wear that in public, the Dallas Cowboys star was asked following Sunday's 43-20 win over the Los Angeles Rams here at AT&T Stadium?

"Hell yeah!'' Parsons exclaimed. "What are they going to say to me?"

Micah as a Lion

Critics are left with little to say at all at this moment as Dallas vaults to 5-2 with the overwhelming win, a victory in which Parsons totaled three quarterback hits and his sixth sack of the season. ... giving him 32.5 sacks in 40 career games.

And yes, the outfit "fits'' ... as the All-Pro said he was moving straight from the locker room to a North Texas pumpkin patch, accompanied by his 5-year-old son, Malcolm. (Who will be dressed not as a cub, but rather as a football player.)

Parsons - who we've dubbed the "Lion-backer'' - talks often of the animal kingdom parallel. A product of Penn State (the Nittany Lions), Parsons' sack celebration sort of resembles a lion's crawl.

"When I always get my chance to talk in front of the room, I talk about the lion hunting and the preciseness and how methodical it has to be," Parsons recently said. "And how lions have to work as a team to get what they need and so they can feed their family. I said if you look at this, this is what we are doing."

Parsons and the Cowboys earned their family night off, but he also acknowledges that soon the attention will turn to next Sunday and a visit to 7-1 Philadelphia.

Cowboys Dress Up as Contender in 43-20 Halloween Win

"We just can’t do it one week and not the next,'' Parsons said of the Cowboys' relative ups and downs. "It has to be consistent. This will be a great opportunity to show that.”

And a great opportunity to dress up, post-Halloween ... as NFC contenders.
