Parsons on sacking Dak: 'It's going to be painful'

""It's going to be painful," Parsons told the AP about getting a chance to sack Prescott. "That's my guy. He was always like a good mentor for me. But you know how it is, he always told me if I ever faced him that it'll be a great matchup, so I'm excited to see what Sunday brings itself.""

"Parsons plans to treat it like an ordinary game, though it'll be his first time inside AT&T Stadium as a visitor. "I accepted my fate weeks ago when the trade happened," Parsons said. "So, for me, it's just all about playing another game and just doing what I do best, and that's just be a disruptive football player. I think the media and the fans are trying to blow it up to be such a big thing. But I just look at it as just another game at AT&T.""

"Just a game that was circled on everyone's calendar after Cowboys owner Jerry Jones traded Parsons to the Packers one week before the NFL's season opener, ending a lengthy contract dispute. The Packers increased their Super Bowl hopes with Parsons and made the 26-year-old the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history by signing him to a $188 million, four-year contract that includes $136 million guaranteed."
