According to Micah Parsons, however, the finger doesn&#8217;t need to be pointed at the coach.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_urqukdt4i\">Parsons took exception to a post on Twitter calling out Zimmer.

He was quick to say they&#8217;re going to fix the mistakes they made and will use the defeat as\u00a0an opportunity to learn.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_21nmj6xgw\">The Cowboys will have another tough challenge in Week 3 as they host the Baltimore Ravens, who are off to a slow start. A defeat at the hands of the Las Vegas Raiders, they&#8217;re now 0-2. Despite the record, they&#8217;re not a team that should be taken lightly, especially with reigning NFL MVP Lamar Jackson under center.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_hmrxnmx6n\">It&#8217;s not going to be easy but Parsons has the right mindset. Hopefully, that will be felt throughout the locker room.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After making it look easy against the Cleveland Browns in Week 1, Mike Zimmer was getting more than his share of praise.
