Packers defensive end Micah Parsons said this week that it will be “painful” for him to sack former teammate Dak Prescott in his return to Dallas and Prescott joked that he hopes “it’s not for me” while speaking to reporters on Thursday.
Prescott added that he hopes it doesn’t happen at all on Sunday night and added that the Cowboys will have “five guys up front, plus tight ends and running backs that [Parsons has] to get through” in order to make a sack. The discussion of the other people that will be on the field extended throughout Prescott’s comments as the quarterback noted that football games are not matchups between individual players.
“It’s the business of it,” Prescott said, via Calvin Watkins of the Dallas Morning News. “At the end of the day, it’s not Dak vs. Micah. . . . Those are never the headlines and never can be. This is Dallas Cowboys vs. the Green Bay Packers and we’ve got to go get a win.”
Prescott said he’s excited for the chance to compete against a former teammate and expects “fun banter back and forth” throughout the game. He does not expect the game to bring “closure” to discussion of the Cowboys’ decision to trade Parsons, however.
That’s likely correct as the Cowboys will have to use the draft picks they acquired before anyone puts the trade to bed, but finding a way to win would still make things look better from the Dallas side.
