Micah Parsons’ arrival in a blockbuster trade this summer has been a catalyst to the Packers ‘ run towards a potential NFC North crown, and he has been the most dominant pass rusher along coordinator Jeff Hafley’s front seven.
As the games carry more meaning down the stretch, Parsons has leveled up his game, significantly, few times more so than in the fourth quarter against the Detroit Lions in a Green Bay victory on Thanksgiving.
With the Packers staring down the NFL’s second-most-difficult remaining strength of schedule, Parsons is playing some of his most consistently dominant football of the season.
Over the past three weeks, all Green Bay wins over the Lions, Minnesota Vikings, and New York Giants, Parsons has been a legitimate difference-maker.
“On defense,” Zach Kruse points out for PackersWire. “Micah Parsons has produced 6.0 sacks and 22 pressures over the last three games, including multiple sacks in all three games. If Love has been the run producer, Parsons has been the closer. Love and Parsons have powered the turnaround, and a quarterback and a pass-rusher playing at an elite level is usually among the most important ingredients to a Super Bowl run.”
Parsons is in the midst of one of his most dominant seasons to date, posting 12.5 sacks, well within striking distance of setting a new career-high by seasons end, and anchoring a defense that just might give him his best chance yet at winning a Lombardi.
