Parsons and the Green Bay Packers (2-1) face off against Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys (1-2) in front of a national television audience on Sunday night.
Parsons plans to treat it like an ordinary game, though it’ll be his first time inside AT&T Stadium as a visitor.
Just a game that was circled on everyone’s calendar after Cowboys owner Jerry Jones traded Parsons to the Packers one week before the NFL’s season opener, ending a lengthy contract dispute.
The Packers increased their Super Bowl hopes with Parsons and made the 26-year-old the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history by signing him to a four-year, $188 million contract that includes $136 million guaranteed.
The Cowboys (1-2) have struggled without Parsons, especially on defense. They’ve allowed the third-most yards (397.7 per game), most passing yards (288) and sixth-highest points (30.7).
Despite missing all of training camp and arriving in Green Bay a week before the first game, Parsons made an immediate impact on defense in a 27-13 win over the two-time defending NFC North champion Detroit Lions in Week 1. The Packers defeated the Washington Commanders soundly 27-18 four days later. But the offense couldn’t get on track in a 13-10 loss at the Cleveland Browns in Week 3.

Sacking Dak Prescott would be bittersweet for Micah Parsons.
“Besides the fans, just the teammates, the support staff, I mean they made this transition so great and I’m just extremely honored and blessed to be with such a great group of guys that want to win and that just want to play football and I think we’ve been playing really good football so far, so that helps and I just hope we continue that,” Parsons said.
