The upcoming bout will take place at Hard Rock Stadium, which is the home turf of the Phins. As it turns out, Cheetah made sure that Parsons got some extra tickets, so that there wasn’t any hassle when the latter’s family came to watch the game.

“Tyreek Hill hooked me up with some tickets for my fam coming down for the Christmas game. That’s a blessing. I’m just excited to play.“
Cowboys DE Micah Parsons said WR Tyreek Hill hooked him up with extra game tickets for his family this Sunday on Christmas Eve, but it’s not fun preparing to face his friend. “I know I’ve got to run faster than I ever have all year. I might hit a mph max speed, chasing someone…

Hill and Parsons have often engaged in friendly trash talk but have still displayed mutual respect. Really! A testament to sportsmanship. Be it Tyreek’s “baby lion” remark or Parsons’ promise to send him “to the tent“, their relationship reflects playful banter.
Parsons even predicted Tyreek Hill could potentially win the Offensive Player of the Year title if he crosses the single-season record. Once, he suggested he could be Hill’s quarterback, emphasizing their amicable bond. The duo exemplifies camaraderie transcending on-field competition despite the rivalry.

Adding another touch of humor, Micah Parsons playfully insisted that he is faster than Hill in the same interview. While such boasts contribute to the lighthearted banter between athletes, the idea of Parsons outrunning Tyreek Hill remains a tongue-in-cheek assertion.
“Tyreek knows I am faster than him. … It’s not fun at all when you’re getting ready to go against someone like Tyreek Hill because I know I got to run faster than I ever have all year. I might hit a miles per hour max speed chasing someone like him.” Micah Parson’s said, via Jon Machota of The Athletic.

To jog everyone’s memory: two years ago, the star LB outpaced Hill in a Pro Bowl race. However, Parsons isn’t dwelling on a potential Pro Bowl race this season; he’s set his sights on the Super Bowl.
Nonetheless, the Cowboys and Dolphins prepare for a crucial Sunday matchup at 4:25 p.m. ET with identical 10-4 records. While the prospect of a speed showcase between the teams’ fastest players is intriguing, both squads prioritize the win over individual accolades. The game holds immense significance in the playoff race.
