<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
With playoff hopes still, technically, alive for the Dallas Cowboys\u2014mathematically speaking\u2014 it would be best for them if the Philadelphia Eagles beat the Washington Commanders in Week 16.<\/p>\n
However, Cowboys pass rusher Micah Parsons made it clear who he’s rooting for in his rant Thursday afternoon, per Jon Machota of The Athletic on X.<\/p>\n
\u201cNah, at this point, it\u2019s f**k Philly, now,\u201d Parsons said. \u201cEven if we got eliminated, like, I gotta crush Philly. F**k them. I hate them now. I be seeing them talk so much on social (media).\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n Now, there’s a chance Parsons spoke too quickly, using emotions to fuel what he said. Rooting for the Eagles to lose over a war between him and Philly fans on social media doesn’t sound like what he might believe.<\/p>\n Maybe it was just a heat-of-the-moment comment.<\/p>\n Or, he really embodies the Cowboys and Eagles rivalry. For context, that would be like a Bears player rooting for the Packers to win, that way they make the playoffs. Sometimes, it’s impossible to root for the rival team with these major rivalries.<\/p>\n And in this instance, Parsons appears to be rooting against the Eagles no matter what after his aggressively worded rant.<\/p>\n Cowboys EDGE Micah Parsons not holding out hope for 2024 playoffs<\/strong><\/p>\n With less than a 1% chance of making the 2024 playoff race, Parsons’ message to Philly made it clear that he’s okay with the Cowboys losing a chance of the postseason if it meant the Eagles also lost.<\/p>\n And when it comes to commitment to the rivalry, it’s respectable.<\/p>\n Now, as someone fighting for a new contract, it could come across poorly to Jerry Jones if he hears about it.<\/p>\n But, it wasn’t surprising to hear Parsons speak this way. Ever since he started his podcast\u2014 and well before that, too\u2014 Parsons has never been one to suppress what’s on his mind.<\/p>\n He doesn’t hold back, and he doesn’t deviate from being himself.<\/p>\n The Cowboys and Eagles face off in Week 17, and that should be a game full of fireworks.<\/p>\n With or without chances of making the playoffs, this seems like a game where Parsons will hear his name quite a bit from the stadium’s PA system.<\/p>\n One thing seems to be on his mind, and that’s crushing Philly, literally and figuratively.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" With playoff hopes still, technically, alive for the Dallas Cowboys\u2014mathematically speaking\u2014 it would be best for them if the Philadelphia Eagles beat the Washington Commanders in Week… <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":19466,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-19465","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nfl"],"yoast_head":"\n![\"Dallas](\"https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Micah-Parsons_9b352d.jpg\")
