Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons shocked NFL fans when he picked the Eagles as the best team in the NFL on his podcast The Edge on Tuesday.
The Eagles, who co-own the NFL’s best record (6-1) with the Chiefs, are fresh off a dominant win over Miami.
"No. 1 would have to be the Philadelphia Eagles,” said Parsons.
The two-time Pro Bowl standout highlighted the unstoppable “Tush Push” as well as star offensive talent as the reasons why Philadelphia lands as his top-ranked team.
“Nobody has stopped the tush push yet. DeVonta Smith could be, while A.J. Brown is a No. 1 wide receiver. Jason Kelce, Hall of Famer. Lane Johnson will be a Hall of Famer. They're very special," added Parsons.

Despite the Cowboys beating the Eagles in four of the last five meetings between the NFC East foes, Parsons still holds Philadelphia in high regard.
"It's very special to see what they've done...I don't believe they have any weaknesses."
The two teams renew their heated rivalry on Nov. 5 when the Cowboys head to Lincoln Financial Field at 4:25 p.m. ET.
