Micah Parsons disses Lions ahead of Packers debut: 'Never liked Detroit'

Micah Parsons was only traded to Green Bay Packers 10 days ahead of their first game of the 2025 NFL Season, but he already feels like he's a part of the team's longstanding rivalry with the Detroit Lions.

The star pass rusher was asked Thursday about potentially making his Packers debut in a rivalry game against the Lions. His response?

"I'm excited to play them," Parsons said of the Lions, as told to reporters on Thursday. "I never liked Detroit. I never liked them, even when I was in Dallas."

Parsons went on to explain he felt as though the Dallas Cowboys had developed a rivalry with the Lions after playing against them each of the last three seasons.
