The Dallas Cowboys are finishing off a lost season, one marred by injury and poor play. Nevertheless, head coach Mike McCarthy has motivated his guys enough to play hard down the stretch even with the postseason a long shot, a trend that continued on Sunday. Dallas went to Carolina and took down the Panthers, 30-14, to advance to 6-8 on the year.
Micah Parsons played a big role in the win, living in the Panthers' backfield all day en route to a two-sack performance. Afterwards he took the time to address a report from NFL Network's Ian Rapoport that the Cowboys haven't "ruled out" trading him this offseason instead of signing him to a massive contract extension.
