The Dallas Cowboys are slogging through another season that seems destined for failure. A 3-7 start out of the gates, combined with the loss of quarterback Dak Prescott put them in position to need a miracle to somehow sneak into the NFC playoff bracket. Two straight wins and a relatively competent Cooper Rush allowed them to enter Monday night's matchup with the Cincinnati Bengals with a glimmer of hope but once again Jerry Jones's prized side failed to make enough plays and suffered a 27-20 defeat to fall to 5-8 on the year.
As the Bengals melted away the final seconds, Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons took a dejected solo walk to the locker room in leiu of sticking around for postgame pleasantries. Which, of course, is perfectly fine. Parsons is a competitor and his comments to the media after the loss showed that he was very emotional about the serious injury suffered by his teammate DeMarvion Overshown.
