Whether it was a one-week adjustment given Kearse’s previous stint with the Minnesota Vikings or a change moving forward, the Cowboys had great success with Kearse calling plays for the defense Sunday night, taking over duties from Micah Parsons.
While the Cowboys had two weeks to get a new quarterback ready for the Vikings, they also had a new play-caller on defense as well.
It certainly wasn’t as visual, but safety Jayron Kearse was the new signal-caller on defense, taking over the duties for Micah Parsons.
Head coach Mike McCarthy confirmed the switch in his press conference on Monday.
