Micah Parsons and Dak Prescott both said winning was the only thing that mattered in the Green Bay pass rusher's hyped return to Dallas to face the Cowboys and their franchise quarterback. Turns out neither star got what he wanted Sunday night.

The Cowboys did a solid job of limiting Micah Parsons impact during the first half of his return to Dallas. The former Penn State star did not have a sack and had only two pressures in the first half on Sunday Night Football. Cowboys coach Brian Schottenheimer was asked at halftime how his offense has been able to slow down Parsons thus far.

After contract talks between the Cowboys and Parsons took a downward turn, owner and general manager Jerry Jones sent Parsons to the Packers in a blockbuster deal. Owens, who signed with the Cowboys after being released by the Philadelphia Eagles in 2006, can relate to facing a former team after things ended poorly.

The Packers signed Parsons to a four-year, $186 million contract that runs through 2029. Green Bay will enter 2026 ranked 22nd with $22.4 million in cap space and will not have a first-round pick in 2026 or 2027.
