Who Was MVP of Packers’ Victory Over Cardinals? 

There are only two players in the NFL who have three or more sacks in a game this season. One of them is Micah Parsons, who delivered a big-time performance to lead the Green Bay Packers to a 27-23 victory over the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday.

“Man, it’s amazing,” quarterback Jordan Love said about Parsons. “I can’t state enough how fun it is just to have him on this team, and how much of a playmaker he is in big situations like that. Having three sacks on the day is big-time.

“You can’t say enough how much of a playmaker he is, and I think everybody on that defense – the D-line, RG’s (Rashan Gary) doing his thing, other guys making big-time plays. So, it’s one of those games where we’re just trying to keep finding ways to be as complementary as possible and keep finding ways to stack it. It never gets old winning, so we’ve just got to keep finding ways to keep going.” 

Parsons, who was given a game ball by coach Matt LaFleur and earned our weekly MVP honors, had one of the best games by any defensive player this season, finishing with five tackles, four of which were for losses, three sacks, 10 pressures and five quarterback hits. It was the first three-sack game of his career between college and the NFL. 

Parsons stepped up in the clutch. His first and second sacks of Jacoby Brissett came on third down in the red zone, limiting the Cardinals to field goals instead of touchdowns.
