3 Cowboys Bold Predictions vs Patriots in Week 4
- Zeke disappears in return to Dallas
- Micah Parsons feasts (even more than usual)
3.Micah Parsons Has 3+ Sacks
Tracking with what I just mentioned for Zeke, the Pats are going to need to take a pass-heavy approach on Sunday, and that means Micah Parsons is gonna feast.
Mac Jones dropped back 56 times in Week 1 and 46 times in Week 2, and he was sacked 6 times between those two games. In addition to struggling with run blocking, New England's offensive line is PFF's seventh-worst unit in pass protection.
The Patriots have allowed pressure on 26.7% of their passing plays, which also puts them as a bottom-eight pass-blocking unit.
And then we have the Dallas pass-rush on the other side. They generate pressure at the fifth-highest rate in the NFL (29.1% of opposing dropbacks).
Parsons is the early Defensive Player of the Year favorite, and he's already had sacks in every game. With 4.0 sacks and 17 total pressures on 77 pass rush snaps (pressures on an absurd 22% of his rushes), Parsons is in for a huge day in a soft matchup, especially if Jones ends up dropping back 50-plus times again.
