Love it or hate it, you can't seem to have a conversation about Dallas Cowboys DE/LB Micah Parsons without talking about NFL legend Lawerence Taylor. Some absolutely despise that as they believe no one will ever be LT. And that's fair. He did, after all, change the way football is played.

Offensive tackles were made differently before Taylor. Hybrid linebackers already blitzed the quarterback but did so only on third down for the most part. Taylor, commanded by then-defensive coordinator Bill Parcells, might just have been the reason why the NFL started keeping official track of sacks in 1982.

So yeah, there is some truth to the fact that Parsons will never be LT.

Then again, wouldn't you describe Parsons as a player that's clearly faster than any offensive tackle you put on him? Or a guy that essentially plays defensive end but is better in coverage than most linebackers in the league? Or a player that is the superior athlete out of the 22 men on the field?

So yes, when we talk about the Cowboys' superstar, forgive us if we bring up the Giants' icon, too. It's impossible to overlook the clear similarities.

Now, the reason why I write all of this? Micah Parsons has a shot at doing something no one has ever done since sacks became an official stat in 1982. Not even Lawrence Taylor.

Cowboys' star will chase history on Sunday

Earlier in the week, I wrote about how the NFL was robbing Parsons of a sack. The pass rusher brought Jared Goff down twice (one was a forced fumble) yet the official record had one of them credited to Dallas teammate Dorance Armstrong.

The video evidence clearly indicated it was Parsons who was responsible for the play, however. As a result, the NFL officially announced a stat correction on Wednesday. That meant the Cowboys' defensive end had two on Sunday and was at eight for the season.

In turn, that would make it FOUR multi-sack performances in only seven games for Parsons. If that sounds like an unreasonable number, it's because… well, it is.

With two sacks against the Chicago Bears on Sunday, Parsons would become the first player to record at least two sacks in five of his team's first eight games of a season since 1982 (the year sacks became official), per NFL Communications.

What makes it an even more fun storyline is the fact that the Bears have a terrible pass-blocking offensive line. Justin Fields has been sacked 27 times this season, which is the most in the NFL through seven games. Keep in mind, this is an offense that doesn't even have a ton of dropbacks.

If you go by sack percentage, Fields leads the league at 16.6%. The second-highest mark is Marcus Mariota at only 10.2%, per Pro Football Reference.

You couldn't ask for a better match-up to accomplish a historic feat than that one.

You know Micah Parsons will be aware of this when he takes the field on Sunday. The Cowboys' second-year player is consistently talking about building a legacy and wanting to make history.

He has a chance at it against the Bears.
