I wanted to win real bad for our unit, but I wanted to win real bad for the ownership, the fans, like it\u2019s so much more.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m carrying this chip on my shoulder where I want greatness for everyone. I don\u2019t want to lose at home, and the fact that we lost and we could have won that game, that killed me, man. Like I want to win so bad. All I know how to do is try to find ways to win and impact the game. And sometimes when you come up short it\u2019s a factor where you can\u2019t really control all of it. It sucks.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>What was as challenging for Micah Parsons as anything was seeing the reaction from people.<\/p>\n<p>Many were legitimately upset about his post-game behavior, though it was just Parsons being Parsons. You can\u2019t separate the great player from the person.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt just kind of sucked the life out of me and, you know, I just feel like, you know, it\u2019s like damned if I do, damned if I don\u2019t,\u201d Micah Parsons said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPlenty of fans, if I went over there and I was all laughing with the competition after we lost like that, a lot of people would be mad. I walk off the field because the game\u2019s over and people are mad. It\u2019s just like, you know, you can\u2019t make everyone happy, but I would just say in that specific moment, it was deeper than that. We\u2019re trying to make a run. We\u2019re trying to make playoffs and kind of to lose that one \u2014 we needed that one.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.on3.com\/pro\/news\/micah-parsons-speaks-out-about-leaving-field-early-postgame-emotions-after-loss-to-cincinnati-bengals\/\">Micah Parsons speaks out about leaving field early, postgame emotions after loss to Cincinnati Bengals<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.on3.com\/\">On3<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dallas Cowboys star Micah Parsons was visibly and emotionally wrecked after his team\u2019s game against&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-77799","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/77799","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=77799"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/77799\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=77799"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=77799"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=77799"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
