Dallas Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons has emerged as a star defensive player in the NFL and proved just how good he is in Sunday’s game against the Chicago Bears.

Bears quarterback Justin Fields was trying to lead the team back into the game when he made a nice side-arm pass to running back David Montgomery. However, Montgomery ran with it and lost the ball just as he was about to get a first down.

Parsons dove for the ball with six other teammates around him. Fields decided to jump over Parsons, not realizing the play hadn’t been called dead.

Parsons recovered the ball and ran into the end zone for a touchdown.
