Cowboys Micah Parsons Predicts: 'I'll Be F****** Phenomenal!' in Playoffs vs. Green Bay Packers
Let it be known - The Lion is ready to hunt.
As the Dallas Cowboys gear up to face the Green Bay Packers in the Wild Card Round of the playoffs, defensive star Micah Parsons is ready for his moment...in fact, he's craving it
After another stellar season in which Parsons had a career-high in sacks (14) and quarterback hits (33), Micah is ready for playoff football.
Time in the NFL is short-lived, and coming to the end of his third season, Micah knows that the clock is ticking. After back-to-back sour playoff losses, he wants his third trip to the postseason to be one to remember.
So as far as his now-famous "be phenomenal or be forgotten" line? He has a definitive answer as to which one he would be against the Packers.
"I'm going be phenomenal, I'm not even going to let y'all think that, I'm going be phenomenal, (bleeping) phenomenal,” he said.
“I'm really craving it, especially when you keep getting doing better and better, and you're going into it," Parsons said on wanting playoff success. "But I think it means more a little bit every year because it's just going by so fast, I can't believe it's the end of my third season already so I'm super excited for Sunday and kind of hopefully going [on] this run.”
Much has been made of Dallas' lack of success in the playoffs, as the franchise hasn't even sniffed an NFC Championship game since 1995. In Dak Prescott's rookie season (2016), the Cowboys had the No. 1 seed and that felt like the time that the streak would finally be broken - it wasn't.
Now, with Dallas holding the No. 2 seed and home-field advantage until the NFC Championship game, fans are salivating at the thought of seeing the Cowboys finally break through.
But with that excitement comes expectation and talk of "pressure.''
"I always appreciate and understand how crazy they [fans] are about Cowboys and they should be," Parsons said. "But I don't see any real pressure on it because I always believe that I'm a winner, and winners aren't phased by the moment. They enjoy the moment, they embrace it. So unless you're not a winner or a loser, you might feel a little bit more pressure, but I crave moments and times like this because I know more depends on it.”
