Cowboy's Defensive Star Clashes With Bucs RB On Field, Stir Up Feud On Social Media

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Leonard Fournette was seen with a controversial hit on Dallas Cowboys defensive back Micah Parsons during Sunday night's prime time match up.

The play in question is when Fournette took down Parsons while the linebacker was already preoccupied with Tampa's offensive tackle Josh Wells.

The two respective stars took to social media the following day to share their opinions on the matter and Buffalo Bills defensive star Von Miller even broached the topic as well, disagreeing with the tackle emphatically.

This block must be taken out the game ! This is the future and we are just letting the offense tee off on our marquee pass rushers! You can get the job done without this much contact! https://t.co/alEmMzEehk

The Cowboys would eventually lose their season opener against Tampa, 19-3 and their defensive Rookie of the Year took to social media to discredit Fournette's tackle.

Viewers discretion is advised due to coarse language

Fournette would respond with a meme GIF, signifying that Parsons was essentially crying over spilled milk.

Parsons and the Cowboys are looking to bounce back next week against the Cincinnati Bengals, but will play without their starting quarterback Dak Prescott for reportedly multiple weeks due to a finger injury he sustained during Sunday's defeat.
