Dallas Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons is ready to move forward.

After the Cowboys’ 44-19 season-opening home loss to the New Orleans Saints, the three-time Pro Bowler is shifting focus to their next home game against the Baltimore Ravens.

“You have to restart, reset, and refocus,” Parsons told reporters at a Raising Cane’s event in Dallas. “There are always highs and lows. God humbles you. What rises will fall. You can’t get too high or low; you must stay neutral.”

Following two straight blowout home losses, the Cowboys are in the headlines for the wrong reasons. The previous loss, a 48-32 wild card playoff defeat to the Green Bay Packers, was worse than the score showed.

“I evaluate my mistakes, how I could improve, lead better, and hold myself accountable like I do others,” Parsons said on recovering from losses. “Everyone’s on the same level. I push my guys all week, fixing where preparation or details were off, and get back to fundamentals.”

The Saints’ first-half touchdowns on five straight possessions dampened the Cowboys’ promising start. Dallas had just signed CeeDee Lamb after a lengthy standoff and extended Dak Prescott’s record-setting deal hours before their opening win over the Browns.

Dallas now faces Lamar Jackson’s Baltimore Ravens in Week 3. The Ravens are desperate after an 0-2 start, following Jackson’s MVP season and a 13-4 record.

Facing Jackson for the first time, Parsons discussed how to prepare for the dual-threat quarterback.

“You try to keep him in the pocket,” Parsons said. “Don’t let him run; keep him in place. He’s tough to contain. It’s easy to say, but hard to do. You need all your guys on the same page and maybe use a spy on key third downs. It’ll be a great game.”

Jackson, a two-time MVP at 27, is held in high esteem by Parsons, who called him the best dual-threat quarterback ever.

“Based on what he’s achieved, he’s likely the best quarterback ever,” Parsons said. “Two MVPs, a Heisman, and playoff success – it’s impressive.”

Parsons, at a Raising Cane’s event for his partnership, participated in a shoot showcasing their “Box Combo.” The 25-year-old also worked the drive-thru and chatted with fans.

When asked who he’d bring for his first “lunch rush” at Raising Cane’s, Parsons chose cornerback Trevon Diggs.

“I’d definitely bring Trevon Diggs,” Parsons said with a smile. “He’s hands-on, and he’d help control the huddle. We’d create a new huddle here, keeping things calm and focused.”

The 17-game season is long, full of highs and lows, and Parsons stressed the importance of events like this for unwinding and fan interaction.

“It’s critical,” Parsons said of fan support. “It’s balance. Fans make the NFL run. Their love, support, and admiration allow them to support our community. I do my best to give back and appreciate their love.”
