GREEN BAY, Wis. -- For a team long known for its quarterbacks and high-powered offenses, it hasn't taken the Green Bay Packers long to forge a defensive identity. Two games to be exact.
The reason, according to cornerback Keisean Nixon, is singular.
"Yeah, we got Micah Parsons," Nixon said after Thursday's 27-18 win over the Washington Commanders at Lambeau Field.
Parsons certainly did his part. He had six pressures of Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels on 32 pass rushes. On those plays, Daniels completed just 1 of 3 passes for 9 yards with two scrambles for 9 yards and was sacked once -- a shared sack between Parsons and linebacker Edgerrin Cooper.
