Micah Parsons has no issue showing love to his opponents and that was on display during the NFC Championship game as Saquon Barkley got off to a great start.
With two NFC East teams playing – the Washington Commanders and Philadelphia Eagles, Dallas Cowboys fans are not in a good mood today.
Cowboys star Micah Parsons posted on social media, saying that he believes Eagles' Saquon Barkley is the best player in the league. This was after the running back opened the offense with a 60-yard rushing touchdown on the first play for the Eagles in the NFC Championship game.
"Dawg Saquon is is best player in the NFL!" Parsons wrote on X.

People were not happy with Micah Parsons stating that a divisional rival has the best player and let their voices be heard on social media.
"Go play for the eagles!! I promise real Cowboys fans will not be upset," one person commented on Parsons' tweet.
"Nobody loves the Eagles more than Micah Parsons," another commenter wrote.
Other people are just upset that he is not with their team as Saquon Barkley signed as a free agent ahead of this season.
"But we're told running backs don't matter by the front office in Dallas," someone posted a tweet.
"Jerry jones HAD a chance to sign him....," one person responded.
In two playoff games entering the NFC Championship this season, Saquon Barkley has 51 carries for 324 yards (6.4 yards per attempt) with two rushing touchdowns. He also has six receptions for 31 yards (5.2 yards per catch) against the Green Bay Packers and the Los Angeles Rams.
What are the records that Saquon Barkley can break this postseason?
Saquon Barkley has been a superstar during the postseason thus far and did not take a step back from his 2,005-yard regular season. There are a few records that could be broken during this Philadelphia Eagles playoff run, especially if they are able to advance to the Super Bowl for an additional game.
The one that is mostly known is the 2,476 rushing yards, combining the regular and postseason, currently held by Hall of Fame running back Terrell Davis.
Entering the NFC Championship game, Barkley was 148 rushing yards away from breaking it. The other is held by Hall of Fame running back John Riggins, who had 610 rushing yards in a single postseason.
Entering today, Barkley had 324 rushing yards and was 287 yards from breaking that record, meaning he would need to make the Super Bowl for a likelier chance to hold that record.
Either way, Saquon Barkley is having a historic season.
