FRISCO, Texas — Micah Parsons had, according to Next Gen Stats, virtually no chance.
The Philadelphia Eagles were driving in the red zone in the second quarter, employing run-pass option to capitalize on their dual-threat quarterback. The Dallas Cowboys hybrid linebacker/edge rusher was torn: Should he trust the Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts wouldn’t use his legs or hope a teammate stepped up in coverage vs. receiver A.J. Brown?
Parsons tried to do some version of both on the Oct. 16 play, which Next Gen Stats says Brown had a 99.
