Micah Parsons Calls Out Browns’ Martin Emerson Jr.’s ‘Unacceptable’ Effort on Texans Touchdown

The Houston Texans and Cleveland Browns were trading touchdowns in the first half of Saturday's playoff matchup, an intriguing start to the postseason for neutral fans tuning in.

Dallas Cowboys star Micah Parsons is amongst the many watching the game and called out Browns' corner Martin Emerson Jr. for a lackluster effort on CJ Stroud's 76-yard touchdown to tight end Brevin Jordan.

Emerson Jr. appeared to half-heartedly jog towards Jordan who was cutting upfield and completely whiffed an arm tackle as the Texans' tight end got loose down the sideline.

"23's effort for a playoff game is unacceptable bro!" Parsons said in his post on X (formerly Twitter). "Trust if ima lose, I won’t show up on film like that!"

While harsh, Parsons criticism was fair considering the magnitude of the game. Speaking of big games, Stroud has looked spectacular in his playoff debut throwing for 236 and three touchdowns with a 151 passer rating in the first half alone.

Houston has since broken the game open, including two second-half pick-sixes of Joe Flacco.

Parsons' and his Cowboys will have the opportunity to show off his playoff effort Sunday as the team hosts the Green Bay Packers.
