Micah Parsons dominated all NFL pass-rushers in 2022 season opener

Micah Parsons was a force in Week 1 of the NFL regular season.
The Cowboys didn’t look too hot against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but Parsons was in a league of his own on defense. The former Penn State standout led all league defenders in pass rush win rate, basically a measure of a pass rusher beating their man to impact the play.
As you can see, Parsons affected the play often in Week 1.

Parsons totaled 5 tackles, 4 of which were solo with 2 sacks on the evening in the Cowboys’ 19-3 loss to Tom Brady and Tampa Bay.
The Cowboys are back in action next week against the Cincinnati Bengals.
