Micah Parsons Defends Dak Prescott: “He Deserved MVP”

Standing Up for His Quarterback

Micah Parsons isn’t just a dominant force on the field—he’s also a fierce defender of his teammates. During Super Bowl Week, the Dallas Cowboys’ star edge rusher made it clear that he stands by quarterback Dak Prescott, refusing to let unfair criticism slide.

Appearing on NFL Network’s Good Morning Football, Parsons passionately argued that Prescott should have been the NFL MVP instead of finishing as the runner-up. He didn’t just state his case—he went on an intense rant about why his quarterback deserved more respect.

“Dak Wasn’t the Problem”

Parsons didn’t hold back when discussing the blame Prescott often receives. While many analysts and fans were quick to criticize the Cowboys’ quarterback, Parsons pointed out that it was the defense that let Prescott down, not the other way around.

According to Parsons, the media has a clear double standard. He argued that Lamar Jackson, who won MVP, doesn’t face nearly as much criticism as Prescott, despite being in similar situations. Parsons believes the narrative surrounding Prescott has been unfair for years, and he’s tired of seeing his teammate take all the heat.

A Brotherhood Beyond the Field

Parsons’ support for Prescott isn’t just about football—it’s about leadership, loyalty, and respect. Even though they play on opposite sides of the ball, the two stars have built a strong bond as the undisputed leaders of the Cowboys.

“You want a guy to go to war for his quarterback,” one analyst said after Parsons’ passionate defense. And that’s exactly what he did.

With the Cowboys entering a new era under head coach Brian Schottenheimer, having their offensive and defensive leaders united is crucial. Parsons has made it clear that no matter what changes come, he’ll always have Prescott’s back.

As Dallas looks ahead to next season, one thing is certain: Micah Parsons isn’t just the heart of the Cowboys’ defense—he’s the voice of the locker room.
