Dallas Cowboys prediction No. 2: Micah Parsons secures a pick-six

Week 8 was a big one for rookie Micah Parsons. He was all over the field with 11 tackles, four of which went for a loss of yardage.

He was one of the main reasons they were able to stay in the game and he was then rewarded with the NFC Defensive Player of the Week Award following the game.

"“Parsons was named NFC Defensive Player of the Week on Wednesday, after recording 11 tackles, including four for loss, in the 20-16 win over the Vikings. Parsons is the first rookie in NFL history to record 10+ tackles in a game with four of them occurring behind the line of scrimmage.” — Nick Eatman, DallasCowboys.com"

As good as he was in the win over Minnesota, it could have even been better. Parsons was within inches of intercepting a pass from quarterback Kirk Cousins and had he hauled it in, he would have taken it to the house.

This bold prediction is that Parsons continues to rack up the big plays and does find himself in a position to not only pick off a pass for the first time in his NFL career, but he will also run it back for a touchdown.
