The Dallas Cowboys fell to the visiting New Orleans Saints in a blowout loss on Sunday afternoon, surrendering a 44-19 final score at AT&T Stadium. This marks an early low point for the Cowboys franchise, which started its season with a dominant away victory over the Cleveland Browns. When asked about the Cowboys' Week 2 loss during his media availability Wednesday, superstar pass rusher Micah Parsons made a call to action for himself and his Dallas teammates.
Parsons identified a lack of effort as the reason for the team's shortcomings in Week 2. "To have back to back embarrassing losses at home, I get the fan frustration but I don’t think there’s anyone more frustrated than me," Parsons said, via team insider Jon Machota. "I’m a competitor.
I feel like I’m a warrior. I battle like everyone else battles, but at the end of the day, it’s all about wanting it more. To me, not having everyone wanting it as bad as you do, that kinda hurts the most.
If you’re willing to take a beating like that, that says a lot.” “I think I’ll find it tougher if people don’t step up. .
.. To me, it’s like a prove it weekend," he continued.
"I’m not putting anything on any of my teammates. I’m saying myself included. I need to step up.
We all need to step up. It would hurt me more if we all didn’t step up and we all played down to that standard again. Because that just tells me we’re not moving in the direction we should be moving.
