Dallas Cowboys’ star linebacker Micah Parsons has responded to the celebrations of Houston Texans’ players Joe Mixon and Dalton Schultz, sparking a heated exchange between the two teams. After Mixon and Schultz were seen celebrating in a bold, attention-grabbing manner during their recent matchup, Parsons took to social media to share his thoughts.
While the celebrations were undoubtedly high-energy, some fans and players felt they crossed the line, with Parsons being one of the most vocal critics. “It’s all fun and games until you start making it personal,” Parsons said in a post-game interview. “We play with respect, and we expect the same from everyone, regardless of what team you’re on.”
The comments quickly caught fire on social media, with fans of both teams weighing in. While some supported Parsons, arguing that the celebrations were excessive, others sided with Mixon and Schultz, calling the linebacker’s response overblown.
The tension between the Cowboys and Texans has only intensified after the incident, leaving fans eagerly awaiting the next chapter in this developing rivalry. Whether the back-and-forth continues or it simmers down remains to be seen, but one thing is clear: Micah Parsons isn’t backing down anytime soon.
