CBS Sports: The cowboys’ Micah Parsons send a brutal message to the Eagles following a heated….
Even though it might benefit Dallas, the All-Pro Pennsylvania native declines to support the Eagles in Week 16.
It may surprise you to learn that the injury-plagued, 6-8 Dallas Cowboys still have a shot to make the playoffs in 2024.
According to the SportsLine simulation model, it is hardly technically detectable at 0.1%, but it is feasible. If the current seventh-seeded Washington Commanders (9-5) lose their next three games AND the Seattle Seahawks (8-6), Atlanta Falcons (7-7), Arizona Cardinals, and San Francisco 49ers (6-8) don’t finish with nine wins and a tiebreaker over Dallas, then the Cowboys have the easiest chance to secure the NFC’s seventh and final playoff spot.
The Commanders must lose to the Philadelphia Eagles (12-2) on Sunday afternoon in Week 16 for any of it to have any significance for the Cowboys. But despite the fact that it would benefit both the Cowboys and himself, Dallas’ three-time All-Pro edge rusher Micah Parsons, a native of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, and a graduate of Penn State, would not support the Eagles.
“Nah, at this point, it’s f— Philly, now,” said Parsons on Thursday. “I got to slay Philly even if we were eliminated. F— them. Now I despise them. On social media, I see them chatting a lot. I’m not sure; Philly [fans] took over my Twitter profile. Oh, man. I’m thrilled about the game [next week in Week 17], too, even though they tell not to look forward to certain things.
Although it’s not fantastic, Dallas’ 3.1% likelihood of winning their final three games of the season is greater than their 0.1% chance of making the playoffs altogether.

Mike McCarthy, the head coach of the Dallas Cowboys, knows that nothing else matters if the Cowboys lose, therefore he avoids getting too caught up in the details with his team and himself.
“We are aware of our location. “The fact remains that we must defeat Tampa,” McCarthy stated on Monday. “Because we require assistance. We recognize that. Therefore, we must position ourselves to receive assistance. We must defeat Tampa. Yesterday’s victory over the Chargers [40-17 in Week 15] was quite remarkable. We are mostly focused on it.
