The arrival of Micah Parsons to the Green Bay Packers could not have come at a better time. The Packers lift the curtain on the 2025 season Sunday by hosting the Detroit Lions. For the past two years, the Lions have been the standard in the NFC North. They are the hurdle that must be overcome.
The Packers have lost five of the last six games to this team. In those five losses, Green Bay has a cumulative total of five sacks. The lone victory came on Thanksgiving Day of 2023. In that contest, Green Bay was able to sack quarterback Jared Goff three times, and pressure him relentlessly.
