Micah Parsons celebrated Penn State’s win
Along with being the first player to 17 sacks in a career, Micah Parsons had a good weekend of rooting interest at the college level. His school, the Penn State Nittany Lions, traveled to play Auburn. There, Penn State won easily, giving Parsons a chance to take a victory lap.
“We just swept Auburn!! I don’t want to hear no more SEC talk!!” he tweeted.
It really was a great weekend for Micah Parsons. After Penn State dominated Auburn, Dallas’ defense dominated Cincinnati, making up for the injury to Dak Prescott.
