After the team\u2019s 27-20 victory against the New York Giants on Thanksgiving Day, Parsons took to social media to express his confidence in the Cowboys moving forward.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe ain\u2019t done \ud83d\ude24\ud83d\ude24\ud83d\ude24,\u201d\u00a0Parsons said\u00a0in a November 28, 2024, message on X.<\/p>\n<p>Dallas has two more very winnable games versus the Cincinnati Bengals and Carolina Panthers in consecutive weeks. Not to spoil Parsons\u2019 hopes, but things get much more challenging to end December.<\/p>\n<p>The Cowboys face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Philadelphia Eagles and Washington Commanders to close the season. The good news for Dallas is two of these final three games are at home.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>The Cowboys Have a Less Than 1% Chance to Make the NFL Playoffs<\/h2>\n<p>Dallas still faces an uphill battle to make the the postseason. Even after the Cowboys\u2019 two recent wins, Dallas has a less than 1% chance to make the NFL playoffs, per\u00a0The Athletic\u2019s\u00a0computer model.<\/p>\n<p>The Cowboys sit at No. 12 in the\u00a0NFC standings at 5-7, well behind the Washington Commanders who are holding the final No. 7 playoff spot with a 7-5 record.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNow my focus is heading to the Bengals, understanding how they\u2019re going to attack us, who they got,\u201d Parsons explained on November 28,\u00a0per ESPN\u2019s Todd Archer. \u201cThey got some dudes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHopefully we get D-Law [DeMarcus Lawrence] and maybe Trevon [Diggs] hopefully so we\u2019re fully loaded, and I know they\u2019ll be fully loaded. I\u2019m looking forward to that.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>The Dallas Cowboys Currently Hold the No. 14 Pick in the 2025 NFL Draft<\/h2>\n<p>The challenge for the Cowboys is the team\u2019s slow start has likely taken the franchise out of postseason contention, especially with the Eagles and Commanders expected to make the playoffs. Dallas\u2019 recent winning streak also means the Cowboys are falling in the\u00a0NFL draft order.<\/p>\n<p>After previously being inside the top 10, the Cowboys hold the No. 14 pick in the 2025 NFL draft heading into the remaining Week 13 games.\u00a0Yahoo Sports\u2019 Nate Tice and Charles McDonald project the Cowboys will take Michigan Wolverines defensive linemen Mason Graham in their latest mock draft.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDallas has been run on relentlessly this year, and has a dire need to get better up front and become a more stout team,\u201d Tice and McDonald wrote in a November 28, mock draft. \u201cGraham helps with that and he has the potential to be a real enforcer up front, which the Cowboys are desperately missing right now.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Mike McCarthy on Cowboys\u2019 Winning Streak: \u2018This Is Where We Deserve to Be\u2019<\/h2>\n<p>As for Parsons, the star defender posted 3 tackles and 1.5 sacks versus the Giants on Thanksgiving. Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy still sees hope ahead for Dallas.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe feel a lot differently today than we did Saturday night going into Washington,\u201d McCarthy noted, per Archer. \u201cThat\u2019s fair and accurate. It\u2019s a good feeling. This is where we deserve to be. We\u2019ve had to fight to get here.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re still in the valley of adversity. We\u2019ve taken two steps forward, but we\u2019ve still got a long ways to go. We recognize that.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Heavy on CowboysMicah Parsons had a message after the Dallas Cowboys&#8217; recent win on Thanksgiving Day.
