Two of the best plays I've seen in forever

Micah Parsons just gets better every time I watch him.

I was there yesterday, so I don't know what Nantz and Romo said, but the dude made two of the best plays I've seen from a Cowboy in years.

The first was a screen pass that he sniffed out, turned and sprinted the play down from behind.

That play was going to score. There was a seam to cut back into that was wide open. Instead, tackle short of the sticks and no damage.

And of course, the fumble at the goal line doesn't happen if Micah doesn't also run that play down at the 1 yard line.

That changed the game entirely, and Dallas rolled from there.

This guy is headed to the Hall of Fame first ballot barring anything catastrophic. He is the best defensive player in football right now.

He makes it fun to watch.
The fumble at the goal line Lawrence took 4 blockers and still made the play. Incredible plays by both guys

Micah Parsons really has restored my faith that this team could win it all at some point. I hope he gets to see that through because he will be an absolute legend.

Ya know, with some of the posts we've seen lately, it's best to make sure.

Oh you might find one. But I've tested this out already. After his minor injury, and people talking about it, I said he probably wouldn't play because he's soft. I was good. In fact, It can only be more comical if someone took you seriously. That's the best part.

I assumed no such thing. That's why I also said that if Detroit had scored the TD, it might have lit a fire under our offense. If Micah hadn't made that play, it clearly wouldn't have been an 18 point difference at the end of the game...or at least probably wouldn't have...but it seems likely that our defense would have kept them from scoring another 11 points more. Regardless, it was a great play, and a game changing play, but to say it was a game saving play is making a much bigger assumption than you thought I was making.
We'll just have to agree to disagree. I think the momentum swung in our favor on two plays. Micah's game-saving tackle inside the one-yard line and Digg's interception.

Oh, I'm not saying it wasn't the catalyst that changed the complexion of the game. It definitely swung the momentum. What I'm saying is that, as you stated, you don't know how things would have played out under different circumstances, and it's possible that the momentum still would have swung in our favor after they got a TD. It's not like this defense has a history of just giving up after the other team scores.

Agreed. Two phenomenal plays back-to-back

If you watch that play closely, NOBODY on the D beat their man except DLaw. DLaw beat three guys. I think maybe his play is the top defensive play of the game, maybe the season. It's the stuff of legends.

Apologies if it was already asked, but what was the other play? Or were you talking about a 2-play scenario, and not two distinct great plays?
