Inside The Star
Micah Parsons has quickly established himself as one of the most feared defenders in the NFL.
Since entering the league in 2021, the Dallas Cowboys’ defensive leader has terrorized quarterbacks, wrecked offensive lines, and built a reputation as a game-changer.
While fans often celebrate his highlight sacks, what makes Parsons special is his consistent impact against nearly every team he faces.
A closer look at Parsons’ sack totals, assisted tackles, and combined tackles against each NFL opponent reveals not just dominance—but a pattern of relentless disruption.
No team has felt Micah Parsons’ presence more than the Washington Commanders.
In just eight career games, Parsons has racked up 10.5 sacks, nine assisted tackles, and 72.5 sack yards. That averages out to more than one sack per game, a nightmare scenario for any offensive line.
Combined with 32 tackles, Parsons has almost single-handedly dictated games against Washington, which is shown by the .750 winning percentage against the Commanders.
This makes him their biggest defensive problem year after year.
The NFC East is loaded with high-stakes rivalry games, and Parsons shines the brightest on this stage.
Playing against the Philadelphia Eagles, he tallied 5.0 sacks, 10 assists, and 29 total tackles. His explosiveness off the edge has often forced the Eagles to double-team him, yet he continues to deliver.
The New York Giants haven’t fared much better. Parsons owns 4.5 sacks and 21 total tackles in eight games, often overwhelming their offensive line. The Cowboys are also batting 1,000 in the win column when Parsons plays.
With both division rivals leaning heavily on mobile quarterbacks and RPO-style offenses, Parsons’ speed and versatility make him a constant problem.
One of the most surprising stats in Micah Parsons’ career comes against the Carolina Panthers.
In just three games, he has piled up 3.5 sacks and 14 total tackles. That’s nearly two sacks per game, proving that even teams outside his division can’t slow him down.
Carolina’s quarterback play has only made life easier for Parsons, who thrives on pressuring inexperienced passers.

Even teams like the Raiders, Jaguars, Falcons, and Dolphins have seen Parsons notch at least a sack or a half-sack, ensuring his presence is felt league-wide.
