2) Micah Parsons sacks, intercepts Daniel Jones

For starting its fourth combination in as many weeks, the NY Giants’ offensive line held up well against the Saints last week, keeping Jones upright throughout the contest, despite playing in the hostile environment of the Caesars SuperDome.

Sunday, though, the NY Giants’ offensive line will face one of its toughest challenges yet; Cowboys rookie Micah Parsons.

As one NFL personnel executive tells FanSided, Parsons can “really mess with a quarterback’s head, because he’s a stud and not just at linebacker, but at defensive end.”

Since moving to his natural position, defensive end, in Week 2, Parsons has been an absolute wrecking ball for the Cowboys’ defense. Parsons has already produced three sacks and 17 total pressures, while garnering a 90.1 pass-rush grade from Pro Football Focus.

Given the way Dan Quinn moves Parsons around, it wouldn’t be out of the question that Parsons might sack and intercept Jones.

The NY Giants’ offensive line has made great strides in recent weeks, but facing Parsons and the way the Cowboys move him around a defense will likely be the toughest test yet.
