Micah Parsons takes snide shot at NFL fan’s criticism in deleted tweet after Cowboys' TNF win vs Titans
Micah Parsons is one of the most talked-about, up-and-coming defensive stars in the National Football League. His Dallas Cowboys have already clinched the fifth seed in the NFC and mathematically still have a chance at the NFC East title.

The Cowboys weren't as dominant on Thursday night on the road against the Tennessee Titans but still managed a 27-13 win.
Afterwards, Parsons didn't take too well to a fan suggesting that he and the Cowboys weren't playing as well as they should have been.
The tweet said that the Cowboys haven't been playing well the last six to eight weeks as they were at the start of the season. The fan stated that the drop-off in production is concerning as the team heads into the playoffs.
Parsons retweeted and replied to the comment by saying that the fan really hasn't been watching then.
The second-year linebacker out of Penn State has since deleted the reply to the tweet.
"Then you really aren't watching then huh"
His response and defense of his team appears to be warranted, though.
Since quarterback Dak Prescott returned from his hand injury in Week 7 of the season, the Cowboys have averaged more points scored than any other team in the National Football League, which is 36 points.
Cowboys HC Mike McCarthy makes case for Micah Parsons to be named DPOY
Dallas Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons is considered a top candidate for Defensive Player of the Year.
The reigning Defensive Rookie of the Year's biggest competition is the San Francisco 49ers' Nick Bosa.
Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy helped his young linebacker's case to earn the coveted award.

“Well, I think he’s done so much so fast. “I think he’s had that level of production for the season. He gets a tremendous amount of attention, he impacts the game even when it doesn’t show up on the stat chart. And no different for Nick Bosa."
"Having a chance to compete, those are the guys who keep you up a little later when you’re thinking about protection, third down, situational football. And I think the biggest thing too for Micah is his ability to – a couple of those scrambles the past week, the way he closes down and runs down a quarterback."-Mike McCarthy
McCarthy said that Parsons' ability to make an impact on defense in just two seasons is incredible.
He added that his ability to make plays and create opportunities for his teammates to make plays is huge. He did give credit to Bosa as well, but said that the quarterback scrambles that his linebacker makes have been impactful.
