The Philadelphia Eagles are set to take on the Dallas Cowboys for the second time this season on Sunday night in Week 14. 

That means Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts will, once again, be feeling the pressure from Cowboys sack monster Micah Parsons

While Hurts is used to facing many great defenders, he's not naive to the fact that Parsons is built "different." 

"He’s a really good player,” Hurts said of Parsons. “You see throughout the league that you have a lot of those types of players on these different teams, but these guys have a different type of edge rusher, with him being a big-time player. There are a lot of other guys who are big-time players on that team, and you have to account for all of them.”

Sure, Dallas' third-ranked defense has many weapons as Hurts points out, but nobody else on that team has managed to rack up 11.5 sacks this season like Parsons has. 

Looking back at the last time that the Eagles and Cowboys faced each other in Week 9, Parsons was credited with 1.5 sacks, nine tackles, a tackle for loss, and three quarterback hits against Hurts and Philly. 

And Parsons can't wait to beat up on the Birds again in Week 14.  

'It's about just winning and going out there and dominating,” Parsons told reporters this week. “You want to go out there and make a point at some point throughout the season, and just no matter who's in front of you, just beat the hell out of them.”

This week is a must-win for both sides in order for one of these teams to take control over the NFC East and put themselves in a better position to land the No. 1 seed in the playoffs, so emotions are going to be running extra high. 

"You know it's a brawl. It's always one where you got to get the ice bags ready,” Parsons said.
