NFL fans have mixed reactions to what Dallas Cowboys star Micah Parsons said in his postgame interview with FOX Sports reporter Erin Andrews on Thursday.
The Cowboys took down the New York Giants in their Thanksgiving showdown, 27-20, allowing them to end their five-game losing streak at home this season. It's also just the second time this campaign that Dallas has won back-to-back games after going through a losing streak from Weeks 6 to 11 (they had Week 7 as a bye week).
Following the win, Parsons had a postgame interview with Andrews, during which the veteran NFL reporter asked "why" and what has been the difference for the team over their last two games.
Parsons confidently responded with, "Why not us?" before highlighting that they had enough of the criticisms that had come their way.
"To be honest, it's really been 'Why not us,'" said Parsons, who was hailed the Madden Thanksgiving MVP for the game with 1.5 sacks, one tackle for loss and four QB hits. "Everybody counting us out, and it was just like, enough is enough. We know what we got, we know what we can do here, and I believe in everyone of these guys."
He added, "I believe we are gonna turn it around and make a run."
