Sacking Dak Prescott<\/a> would be bittersweet for Micah Parsons.<\/a><\/p>\n

The two-time All-Pro pass rusher downplayed his upcoming return to Dallas<\/a> and expressed his feelings about potentially taking down his friend and former teammate in a conversation with The Associated Press on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Parsons and the Green Bay Packers (2-1) face off against Prescott and the Cowboys (1-2) in front of a national television audience on Sunday night.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s going to be painful,\u201d Parsons told the AP about getting a chance to sack Prescott<\/a>. \u201cThat\u2019s 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\u2019ll be a great matchup, so I\u2019m excited to see what Sunday brings itself.\u201d<\/p>\n

Parsons plans to treat it like an ordinary game, though it\u2019ll be his first time inside AT&T Stadium as a visitor.<\/p>\n

\u201cI accepted my fate weeks ago when the trade happened,\u201d Parsons said. \u201cSo for me, it\u2019s just all about playing another game and just doing what I do best, and that\u2019s 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

Just a game that was circled on everyone\u2019s calendar after Cowboys owner Jerry Jones traded Parsons to the Packers<\/a> one week before the NFL\u2019s season opener, ending a lengthy contract dispute.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

The Cowboys (1-2) have struggled without Parsons, especially on defense. They\u2019ve allowed the third-most yards (397.7 per game), most passing yards (288) and sixth-highest points (30.7).<\/p>\n

Despite missing all of training camp and arriving in Green Bay a week before the first game, Parsons made an immediate impact on defense in a 27-13 win<\/a> over the two-time defending NFC North champion Lions in Week 1. The Packers defeated Washington soundly 27-18 four days later. But the offense couldn\u2019t get on track in a 13-10 loss at Cleveland in Week 3.<\/p>\n

\u201cBesides the fans, just the teammates, the support staff, I mean they made this transition so great and I\u2019m just extremely honored and blessed to be with such a great group of guys that want to win and that just want to play football and I think we\u2019ve been playing really good football so far, so that helps and I just hope we continue that,\u201d Parsons said.<\/p>\n
