GREEN BAY, Wis. -- For a guy who wasn't even sure which end of the field to warm up on and didn't know the defense's signature pregame handshake, Micah Parsons sure looked like he knew what he was doing when it came to the football part of his debut with the Green Bay Packers.
Less than two weeks after the Dallas Cowboys traded their star pass rusher to Green Bay, Parsons got his first sack and was second on the team with three pressures in Sunday's season-opening 27-13 win over the Detroit Lions at Lambeau Field.
He did it in just 29 of the Packers' 65 defensive snaps, which was actually more than coach Matt LaFleur had anticipated Parsons would play.
