Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons brought the heat to Jets quarterback Zach Wilson early on during Sunday afternoon’s showdown, bursting through the trenches to record an electrifying sack and help set the tone defensively.
Parsons showcased his versatility on defense, using an impressive move off the line in order to get free and get after Wilson. By the time Wilson realized the 24-year-old was blitzing, it was already too late, as Parsons picked up his second sack of the year.
Just as Tony Romo and Jim Nantz were complimenting Parsons’s unique blend of strength and speed, the star linebacker broke through for an impressive sack, right on cue.
Parsons’s missile-like sack of Wilson left fans on social media stunned, and they had plenty to say about his strong showing early in the game.

Micah Parsons with what may have been the fastest sack he's ever had in dropping Zach Wilson for a 7-yard loss.

Micah Parsons is just amazing. His closing speed is unparalleled. I don't know how anyone can play the Dallas defense without double-teaming him on every play.
