As the old saying goes - and it's a bit cliche - "defense wins championships.'' And to Dallas Cowboys pass-rushing linebacker Micah Parsons, the answer to all of "America's Team's'' woes are contained in those three "secret'' words.

Criticism has mounted against Cowboys star Micah Parsons after his controversial comments about head coach Mike McCarthy after the team’s blowout loss to the Eagles on Sunday, and he doesn’t seem pleased about how his remarks have been perceived.

It was Parsons’ words, not his play, that stole the spotlight. Parsons was asked after the game about the job status of head coach Mike McCarthy, which is understandably a topic of interest as the Cowboys fell to 3-6 in McCarthy’s final year of his contract.
