The Dallas Cowboys have spent the last week as the whipping boy of the rest of the NFL, as they traded Micah Parsons away to an NFC rival in the Green Bay Packers for pennies on the dollar. Parsons was getting thrown into the fire in his Packers debut against Penei Sewell and the Detroit Lions.
With the Lions fresh off dominating the NFC over the last two years and in possession of one of the best offensive lines in the game, Parsons, who came into the game with concerns about his back health, looked like his old self in this contest.
