NFL fans are ripping on Dallas Cowboys star Micah Parsons for his disrespectful act in the waning seconds of Monday night’s heartbreaking 27-20 home loss to the Cincinnati Bengals.
The game was tied 20-20 with just over two minutes remaining when the Cowboys forced a Cincinnati punt at the two-minute warning. Just when it looked like Micah Parsons would will the Cowboys to a thrilling prime-time victory, however, the Dallas special teams crumbled at the worst possible time.
Ryan Rehkow’s punt was blocked, seemingly giving Dallas excellent field position to set up Brandon Aubrey for the game-winning field goal. But Amani Oruwariye of the Cowboys made the mistake of touching the football, allowing the Bengals to recover it and retain possession.
The Cowboys blocks the punt… but it was then touched by a Dallas player… and then recovered by the Bengals 🤯

Joe Burrow would hit Ja’Marr Chase for the go-ahead touchdown on the drive, and the Cincy defense forced a turnover on downs to win the game. Micah Parsons was so upset about the loss that he walked off the field before the clock hit zeroes:
Fans wasted no time critiquing Micah Parsons for this gesture:
“Selfish and unprofessional. The Cowboys have had a frustrating season to say the least, but you need to be able handle defeat with class,” one critical fan said.
“Micah parsons storming off is so unserious,” wrote a fan.
“Not a good look,” said a fan.
“Micah Parsons leaving the field before the game ended or shaking hands with anyone is cry baby behavior. Someone that aspires to be a “leader of the team” cannot do that. Ridiculous,” wrote another.

Micah Parsons’ Frustrations Are Understandable
One can criticize Parsons’ antics after the loss, but it’s also not hard to understand why he’s unhappy. He’s been one of the few positives in a miserable Cowboys season, and they simply gave the game away to Cincy on a silver platter with a careless special teams mistake that could get any coach fired.
