The Dallas Cowboys are set to take on the New Orleans Saints on Thursday night in Week 13. This is a big game for the Cowboys as they have struggled recently and have lost three of their last four contests.

The Cowboys rookie linebacker standout Micah Parsons had this to say,

“Let the eyes be on me. It ain't going to change my preparation. Some people are just born for (the moment), and I believe I was born for it.”

Parsons does seem like he was born for the bright lights as he's been a standout defender for this Cowboys team. He is second on the team in tackles. He has 67 tackles on the season and also has nine sacks with two forced fumbles.

The Penn State product has been arguably the best rookie in the whole NFL this season. If the Cowboys want to win this game on Thursday night, they're going to need Micah Parsons to play excellent football.

The New Orleans Saints are a team that the Cowboys should be able to take care of pretty easily. Playing in New Orleans, especially on a Thursday night, is never an easy task. This will definitely be an interesting game as the Cowboys have not looked great the past four weeks. They are coming off two losses in a row to the Kansas City Chiefs and the Las Vegas Raiders.

Dallas is going to look to bounce back and take down this Saints team in New Orleans.
