Micah Parsons: Ravens are a ‘prove’ game for Cowboys defense

The Cowboys’ defense was crushed by the Saints on their home field last weekend and Micah Parsons is adamant that can’t happen again when the Ravens come to town this Sunday.

New Orleans ran for 190 yards and Derek Carr had 243 yards on just 11 completions, so the Cowboys struggled across the board in Week 2. Parsons said Wednesday that “we all have to get better,” and the rusher said the effort must start with stopping the Ravens’ ground attack.

“Yeah, I think the mentality is to bounce back, stop this race and show people that you can stop the race“I think it’s really a prove-it game when you get two games like this in a row,” Parsons said, via the team’s website.

Parsons believes stopping the run will give the Cowboys a chance to get after Lamar Jackson in a way they weren’t able to last weekend and the game could swing on their ability to put themselves in that position.
