Jerry Jones shares true feelings about Micah Parsons' return to Dallas ending in a tie

Jerry Jones shares true feelings about Micah Parsons' return to Dallas ending in a tie originally appeared on The Sporting News

The Week 4 game between the Dallas Cowboys and Green Bay Packers was probably the most highly anticipated contest of the entire slate this weekend because of the return of Micah Parsons to Dallas.

And it didn't disappoint — both offenses were electric and the game was a back-and-forth slugfest that was one of the more exciting games you will ever see.

Yes, it did end in a tie, but it was one hell of a road to get there.

Nobody wanted to beat Parsons and the Packers more than owner and general manager Jerry Jones, who has taken no shortage of heat for trading someone considered by many to be a generational talent.

While that didn't happen, a tie still beats losing in the bragging rights department, something Jerry was happy to admit.

"I feel better than I could have felt," Jones said, per ESPN's Todd Archer.

While Parsons did disappear for portions of the game, he still had a good game and made what turned out to be the biggest play of the contest after he sacked Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott before he could reach the end zone in overtime.

That helped force the Cowboys to kick a field goal, which the Packers went on to match as time expired on the following drive.

While Jones definitely would've felt better with a win, it's not like that would have erased the criticism he has faced for trading Parsons.

That is something he'll carry with him forever, unless the Cowboys somehow find a way to win a Super Bowl and ultimately prove they are better off without Parsons.

Good luck with that.
