Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell didn’t sugarcoat anything when the topic of Micah Parsons came up this week. With the Cowboys star linebacker playing at an unreal level, Detroit knows exactly who stands between them and a clean offensive game — one of the most explosive defenders in football.
Campbell made it clear that preparing for Parsons isn’t optional; it’s the starting point of the entire game plan. He acknowledged the chaos Parsons can create when he’s left unchecked — the speed, the power, and the ability to take over a drive with a single snap. For Detroit, controlling him is the difference between staying on schedule and watching the offense crumble.
The Lions won’t shy away from the challenge, though. Campbell praised his offensive line and the adjustments they’ll make, hinting that Detroit is ready to be physical, disciplined, and aware of where No. 11 is at all times. As Campbell put it, the plan is simple: contain Parsons long enough to let the Lions offense breathe.
Detroit knows what’s coming — and the message is clear: if you want to beat Dallas, you must slow down Micah Parsons. No exceptions.
