ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Micah Parsons rocked back and forth on the bench in agony after Cincinnati's winning touchdown that followed a botched blocked punt from his Dallas Cowboys.
The star pass rusher couldn't bear to watch the end, so he left the field before the clock hit zeros in the Bengals' 27-20 victory Monday night.
Joe Burrow's tiebreaking 40-yard touchdown pass to Ja'Marr Chase with 1:01 remaining was possible only because the Cowboys touched a blocked punt that would have put them in position for the victory in the final two minutes.
“Oh, I hurt,” Parsons said in the locker room, the normally loquacious two-time All-Pro pausing to try to find the right words. “I won’t wish this on anybody. You can’t even put that in words, bro, to be honest.”
