Micah Parsons, a linebacker for the Dallas Cowboys, expressed his displeasure with the officiating during the team’s narrow loss to the Miami Dolphins on Sunday via social media and to reporters.
The absence of holding penalties against the Dolphins infuriated Parsons. He has completed 38 consecutive quarters without incurring a holding penalty, according to the team’s website. He has anchored 53 total tackles and 13 sacks this season, and his 30 quarterback hits are tied for a career high.
“The things that are being called and the positions we are being placed in are mind-boggling,” he wrote on the team’s website. “All we have to do is learn to combat adversity and recognize that much of it is untrue.” It may be football games, but this is our universe. The star was affixed to the headgear.
On one occasion, Parsons caused quarterback Tua Tagovailoa an injury that resulted in a penalty. Tagovailoa was shoved in the back, causing the quarterback to fall to the ground. It was his only penalty of the season for roughing the passer.
“[The official] said my intent was to punish the quarterback,” Parsons asserted. “However, how can I possibly punish him if my intention is to terminate his employment?” It is certainly not a late success. No, I remained at my feet. I failed to lead by example. “I am astounded as to how you manage to make that phone call.”
“I arrived at the location so rapidly; how could I have known he had removed the ball?” It occurred within a split second. No, I remained at my feet. Since I ceased to lead with my mind, I have lost all understanding of the term “roughing the passer.” Indeed, I encountered D-Law. We encountered each other at the quarterback position. It is, as previously stated, extremely difficult to play defense.”
A photo that Parsons uploaded to his Instagram Stories depicted him attempting to escape the grasp of two Dolphins linemen.
He composed, “Free me, dawg!!!” in writing. “Whatever I did to the officials I’m sorry.”
Jason Sanders, a kicker for Miami, settled the Dolphins 22-20 in the final seconds of the game.
