Dallas was just outmatched by the 49ers throughout the game, and neither their offence nor their defence were able to contain their opponents. After allowing San Francisco to score 21 points in the first half alone and Brock Purdy finally finishing with four throwing touchdowns, Dallas’ typically tough defence was nowhere to be found. Dak Prescott, on the other hand, had a terrible time connecting with his wide receivers as he threw three interceptions and only managed to score once.
Even while there is no reason to celebrate the loss, Parsons wanted to make it clear that he views it as a lesson rather than a setback. He continued by saying that in order for the Cowboys to win the Super Bowl, they must endure similar losses. The fact that they learnt their lesson is what matters most to him in the end.
“I’ve never seen a champion who hadn’t gone through war. We’re only being tested now. We discover that there is no such thing as defeat. We’ve just learnt a lesson tonight. According to Parsons, you should sometimes consider these setbacks a blessing and just express gratitude, as reported by Jon Machota of The Athletic.
Certainly, Micah Parsons and the Cowboys can view it that way. Despite the fact that it was a regular season game and their season was not over, the defeat might still have a significant influence on the rankings going ahead. They still have a chance to right the ship and turn things around.
It’s important to note that such a mindset won’t be allowed throughout the playoffs. The assumption is that they would go for the Vince Lombardi trophy because they haven’t won the championship in almost three decades. No matter how positively the Cowboys try to spin it, a defeat would be seen as an awful failure.
