Micah Parsons and the Packersā defense delivered a dominant performance in the victory over the Washington Commanders to kick off Week 2 of the NFL. Because of that, at the end of the game, the former Dallas Cowboys star sent a very clear warning about the potential of his new team.
āDefense wins championships. Jordan Love, I think you give us 20 points, we should be able to win that game. Itās all about getting stops and getting the ball back to the offense. As yāall seen against Baltimore and Buffalo, you can have a quarterback there having a perfect game but still lose because, guess what, the defense gave up, what, 40 points? So, defense wins championships. I think the fans like points and they like to see the big plays, but, when you play great defense, itās just so beautiful to see.ā
Now, after two solid wins, the Green Bay Packers are seen by many experts as Super Bowl contenders and as the team with the best chance of dethroning the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC.
Whatās the best defense in the NFL?
The Green Bay Packers have established themselves early in 2025 as one of the best defenses in the NFL. However, Micah Parsons has taken a more cautious approach, noting that there is still a long way to go.
āBest defense in the NFL is earned. Itās early to say. The best defense does it consistently. Consistency equals greatness. We had a great start. We can be a great defense. Itās just up to us to continue to push and strive for that. We played consistent. We gave up some things that we didnāt want to. More points that we wanted to, but, we made them earn everything and thatās just important. No big plays. Thatās the good part. As long as we just keep doing that every week, weāre going to be a hard team to beat.ā
