Dallas Cowboys edge rusher Micah Parsons was not at 100% on Sunday when his team faced off against the Carolina Panthers.
The Cowboys bested the Panthers 33-10 at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, N.C.
On the surface, Parsons looked as dominant as he’s ever been. He tied his single-game career-high in sacks with 2.5 against the Panthers. Parsons was even able to crawl on all fours to celebrate a first-quarter sack.

However, Parsons might have been a little too pumped for the matchup. He stated after the game that he was feeling the effects of taking too much C4 energy drink powder. The Cowboys star admitted after the game that his heart was thumping just a few plays into the contest.
“I got some water to help put it down. By the fifth play it felt like my heart was gonna jump outta my chest. I felt like I was about to explode. I’m never doing that s–t again,” Parsons said.

Parsons appears to still be planning to take the pre-workout beverage going forward, but in a smaller dose next time.
