Parsons 'pissed off' with Packers giving up 40 points to Cowboys

Green Bay Packers pass-rusher Micah Parsons says he left his first matchup against his former team incensed after the defense allowed 40 points in an overtime tie against the Dallas Cowboys.

"I'm not even going to lie, I'm pissed off," Parsons said after the 40-40 draw Sunday night, according to ESPN's Rob Demovsky and Todd Archer. "I'm very disappointed, just overall how we performed."

Parsons, who was traded from the Cowboys to the Packers in August amid a contract dispute, finished with three tackles and a sack. His sack was also a potential touchdown-saving tackle in overtime.

However, the 40 points allowed was the most by Green Bay since a 40-33 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 12 of the 2022 campaign.

"Giving up 40 points, bro, I don't care where we're playing. That's just unacceptable for me and everyone," Parsons said, according to team writer Wes Hodkiewicz. "I'm not even pointing fingers, just like, we got to find a way to get off the field, and we didn't do a great job at that tonight."

The 26-year-old says he made sure to let quarterback Jordan Love know that the defense "let him down."

Parsons was also complimentary of former teammate and Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott, who threw for 319 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions.

"I think he played a better game than we played defense," Parsons said, according to Demovsky and Archer. "So, you know, shout out to Dak, and I told him, I said, 'You go watch that film. You lucky if you wasn't on your shit, it would've been a long day, it would've been a real long day for you,' but he played a hell of a game, and I give him kudos for that."

The Packers started the season 2-0 but have a loss and tie over their last two games.
