The Green Bay Packer everyone is talking about is making sure everyone is talking about the rest of the defense, too, just like he said he would. Micah Parsons was relatively quiet in the stat sheet until he picked up his first sack in a Packers uniform in the fourth quarter, but his impact was apparent throughout the season opener against the Detroit Lions.
Green Bay’s defense held Detroit, which averaged 33 points per game last season, to just 13 points (thanks to a garbage-time touchdown) and 271 yards of offense while forcing a red-zone turnover.
