After defeating the Commanders without hesitation at Lincoln Financial Field, the Philadelphia Eagles secured their ticket to the upcoming Super Bowl, where they will face none other than the Kansas City Chiefs. A stellar performance by Saquon Barkley on the field generated many opinions, including one from Dallas Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons.

With a resounding 55-23 scoreline, the team led by Jalen Hurts showcased all their experience in this type of game, leaving no doubt about their intentions to make it to the final game of the NFL season. Nick Sirianni designed the perfect game plan for the former Giants running back, who did not disappoint his HC.

Eliminated from the contention weeks before the regular season ended, the Dallas Cowboys watched the playoffs from the outside this time. Micah Parsons, one of the talented players on Jerry Jones’ roster, was impressed by the level shown by Barkley against Washington and made a strong statement about it.

ā€œDawg saquon is is best player in the NFL!.ā€ the linebacker made his statement through his official X (formerly Twitter) account @MicahhParsons11. It’s worth noting that the Cowboys and Eagles share a division in the NFC East, something Parsons didn’t take into account when praising the RB’s performance.
