Tom Brady, the legendary seven-time Super Bowl champion, found himself face-to-face with a familiar foe during the Las Vegas Raiders' preseason game against the Dallas Cowboys at AT&T Stadium.
It was none other than Micah Parsons, the star pass rusher who had given Brady a hard time during their previous encounters on the field. Parsons boldly approached Brady on the sideline, declaring that the retired quarterback "owes me." The reason behind this claim remains shrouded in mystery, but Brady wasted no time in disputing it.
Like many other quarterbacks, Brady had experienced the full force of Parsons' relentless pursuit during their playoff clash, where Parsons managed to sack him twice. The All-Pro continued his dominance into the regular season, sacking Brady twice again.
Now, as a minority owner of the Raiders, Brady watched the action unfold from the sidelines in street clothes. The game ended with a 31-16 victory for the Cowboys, with Will Grier stealing the show by contributing two passing and two rushing touchdowns, shortly after Dallas acquired Trey Lance from the San Francisco 49ers.
As the new NFL season approaches, Brady may not be the only one feeling a sense of dread when the Giants and Jets face the Cowboys. Daniel Jones, the Giants' quarterback, and Aaron Rodgers, Brady's longtime peer, will surely remember the challenge of going up against Micah Parsons.
