Dallas Defense Still Missing Micah Parsons After Week 1 Disaster

The Dallas Cowboys' defensive disaster in a 28-20 loss to the Giants highlighted the absence of Micah Parsons, whom Dallas traded to the Packers before last season. Despite Jerry Jones' defensive rebuild emphasizing size and physicality, the new-look unit surrendered 165 rushing yards and struggled to pressure quarterback Jaxson Dart. Observers and scouts noted the defense desperately lacks the game-wrecking presence and constant pressure that Parsons previously provided on every single snap.
