The Dallas Cowboys don’t play against the Miami Dolphins until December. But the trash talk between the teams’ biggest stars – Micah Parsons and Tyreek Hill – looks primed to continue for a while.
After being called a “baby lion” by Parsons on X, Hill (@cheetah) called him out and told Parsons to “watch your back” when they play on December 25.
“Micah Parsons, when we play you December 25th on Christmas Day, I have a present for you, my boy. I know you seen my little clip where I was blocking the D-End. I’m big like that, so you better watch your back.”
Parsons was quick to respond to Hill’s bravado, threatening to make a “cheetah blanket.”
“Ima make my baby girl a cheetah blanket for Christmas,” Parsons wrote this morning.

Micah Parsons has been rapidly asserting himself as not only the best defensive player in the NFL, but the most impactful one on both sides of the ball. He’s emerging as the frontrunner for both Defensive Player of the Year and making a compelling case to be named NFL MVP – a feat not achieved by a defender since Lawrence Taylor in the 1980s.
But Tyreek Hill is no slouch either. He’s made it his mission to break the NFL receiving record and become the first with over 2,000 receiving yards. With 255 yards through the first two games he’s on pace to do just that with games to spare and might even achieve it before the Christmas Day game.
Who will have the better game when the Cowboys and Dolphins play each other?
