Micah Parsons' key play symbolizes what Cowboys' defense has become in 2022

ARLINGTON, Texas -- Brock Wright’s eyes were on the end zone. The tight end thought he was about to give the Detroit Lions a fourth-quarter lead.

Dallas Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons had a different idea.

Parsons was 5 yards behind Wright at the time of the reception. He weaved his way through traffic -- reaching 20.41 mph, according to NFL Next Gen Stats -- collared Wright at the 2-yard line and brought him down at the 1. At initial glance it looked like Wright might have scored, but replays eventually showed he was down.
