One of the most anticipated Thanksgiving matchups in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> is undoubtedly the showdown at Ford Field, where the Detroit Lions will host the Green Bay Packers. This divisional clash could play a pivotal role in shaping both teams’ playoff hopes.



The talent Matt LaFleur has at his disposal is undeniable—especially on offense, where playmakers like Jordan Love and Josh Jacobs headline the unit. However, according to recent comments from Dan Campbell, the player to watch is <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/micah-parsons">Micah Parsons</a>.



“We know he’s a dynamic player, he’s a dynamic rusher,” the head coach said in a recent interview. “This guy plays hard, he’s got a quick first step, he’s powerful, he’s quick.”



<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/dan-campbell">Campbell</a> also added: “You see him club the tight end, nudges him, already beats that. Then the tackle engages him, then the slide comes to him, the guard gets on him and he beats both of them. And that’s just it. If you’re going to use that many resources, you have to stop this guy. And he’ll just keep coming.”

<h2>Parsons’ impact on the Packers’ defense</h2>



Micah Parsons, having joined the Green Bay Packers in the latest offseason, has continued to establish himself as one of the league’s elite defensive players. Through 11 games (10 starts) of the 2025 season with Green Bay, Parsons has accumulated 30 total tackles, including 14 solo tackles and 16 assisted tackles. 


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/nfl-teams-that-finished-a-season-winless"></div>


His pass-rushing dominance is evident with 10.0 sacks and 9 tackles for loss (TFL). Additionally, he has recorded 1 forced fumble in his tenure with the Packers. These statistics demonstrate Parsons’ immediate and significant impact on the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/green-bay-packers">Green Bay</a> defense since his arrival.



<h2>A pivotal showdown for Detroit and Green Bay</h2>



The annual Thanksgiving clash between the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/detroit-lions">Detroit Lions</a> and the Green Bay Packers is absolutely crucial for the NFC North title race. With both teams competing fiercely for the division crown, this game offers more than just a win; it provides a vital tiebreaker advantage. 



A Packers victory would complete the season sweep, giving them a significant head-to-head edge over the Lions. Conversely, a win for the Lions would level the standings and keep them firmly in the hunt, preventing Green Bay from gaining a major path to the division title. This holiday contest is essentially a playoff game with massive implications for the postseason.

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/micah-parsons">Micah Parsons</a> was fined $12,172 by the NFL after reviewing the game between the Green Bay Packers and the Philadelphia Eagles. The defending <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl">Super Bowl</a> champions came away with a 10-7 win at Lambeau Field.



The star defensive player was penalized for a sequence that occurred with 4:08 left in the fourth quarter. Saquon Barkley had the ball and, to stop him, Parsons extended his leg and tripped the running back.



What’s striking is that during the game the officials didn’t throw a flag, so the fine for the former <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/dallas-cowboys">Dallas Cowboys</a> player only came after the NFL’s postgame review. It was officially labeled as ‘striking/kicking/tripping/kneeing’.



<h2>Why did Cowboys trade Micah Parsons?</h2>



The Dallas Cowboys traded Micah Parsons because Jerry Jones was not willing to give him a contract extension close to $47 million per season. The owner allegedly had a handshake agreement for less money with the player, but when agent David Mulugheta got involved, any discussion came to an end.


 

 


Parsons was traded to the Packers in exchange for two first-round picks and defensive tackle Kenny Clark, and he already had a historic four-year, $188 million deal lined up to play for Green Bay.



As a consequence, the Cowboys’ defense has been one of the worst in the NFL, while Micah has become a key piece for the Packers with 6.5 sacks and 11 solo tackles.

Micah Parsons has been severely punished by NFL

Jerry Jones made a shocking decision when he decided to trade <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/micah-parsons">Micah Parsons</a> from the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/dallas-cowboys">Dallas Cowboys</a> to the Green Bay Packers in exchange for two first-round picks and Kenny Clark. Now, a report from Adam Schefter has revealed new details about the move, including a condition that Jones placed on the Packers. 



“Unbeknownst to everyone except the few who crafted the August blockbuster trade that sent Parsons from Dallas to Green Bay was a ‘poison pill’ condition that, according to sources involved with the deal, prevents the two-time All-Pro from playing for Philadelphia in the immediate future. The previously unreported condition states that if the Packers decide to trade Parsons to a team in the NFC East (the Eagles tried to trade for him in the summer before being rebuffed) then Green Bay would owe Dallas its 2028 first-round draft pick, sources involved in the trade told ESPN.”



For many weeks, the defending <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl">Super Bowl</a> champions were mentioned as a possible destination for Parsons. For that reason, Jerry Jones wanted to prevent any kind of future trade or workaround that could send him to their NFC East rival.



<h2>Why did the Cowboys trade Micah Parsons?</h2>



The Cowboys traded Micah Parsons because Jerry Jones became upset with the player after what was supposedly a handshake agreement between them. The star’s agent decided to step in, as the money being discussed was far from what they had expected.


 

 


When David Mulugheta took over the negotiations, Jones no longer wanted to deal with the agent and began looking for suitors for Parsons. The Packers made the best offer and also gave Micah a four-year, $188 million contract extension. Jerry wasn’t going to pay that.



By the way, in an interesting twist, the restriction also applies to Kenny Clark, according to Schefter’s report. “The ‘poison pill’ condition also was used on Kenny Clark, the other player involved in the trade, according to sources. If the Cowboys trade Clark to a team in the NFC North, they would owe the Packers their 2028 first-round pick.”

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/micah-parsons">Micah Parsons</a> admitted that after learning Marshawn Kneeland had passed away, he reached out to several of his former teammates with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/dallas-cowboys">Dallas Cowboys</a> to tell them he loves them and that they may have taken for granted the time they spent together.



“We should all just use this time to stay prayed up. Keep praying. Praying for your loved ones. Praying that people find peace and also just continue to reach out to our loved ones. It made me reach out to some friends I have back home, former teammates, about how we took for granted the time we had together. Life’s just so short. So, we should really just start appreciating a little bit more and just loving people.”



The star defensive player always believed he would bring a <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl">Super Bowl</a> to the Cowboys, but suddenly, Jerry Jones decided to trade him to the Green Bay Packers. Because of that, the tragic situation led him to reach out to his friends in Dallas during such a difficult time.



<h2>What happened to Marshawn Kneeland?</h2>



Marshawn Kneeland passed away at just 24 years old. Because of that, Micah Parsons sent a clear message about mental health and how important this issue should be for NFL players.


 

 


“We’ll be fools to act like what we do isn’t enough pressure as it is. You know, we live in a pressure job where you’re expected to deliver and you’re expected to play a certain way, and when you don’t, it’s easy to say: ‘Oh, man, it’s so sad.’ But a lot of people are hard on people. ‘You suck. You stink.’ There’s a lot of harsh words and harsh things that get said about people. As athletes, most of us see it, some of us don’t, but we choose to wait until somebody passes to realize what we say and what we do, how it can affect people.”



Parsons expressed his willingness to help Kneeland’s family. “Marshawn’s a guy who loved his anime, loved his video games like anybody else. To me, he always showed me nothing but respect from the moment he came into the locker room. He respected me as a player. He respected me as a person. So, I have nothing but high respect for him. If there’s anything his family needs, I’ll be the first person to help or offer anything I can do to offer a person. I just hope that he finds his peace and his family finds peace in this situation.”

Jerry Jones is still considering whether the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/dallas-cowboys">Dallas Cowboys</a> will make a trade before the NFL deadline. In recent days, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/myles-garrett">Myles Garrett</a> and Maxx Crosby have been rumored as options to replace Micah Parsons.



During an interview with 105.3 The Fan, Jones made it clear that if there is any surprising move to help <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/dak-prescott">Dak Prescott</a> and his teammates, he expects the impact to be immediate. Surprisingly, he used Jonathan Mingo as an example.



“Well, if it’s got to do anything to do with this season, at this juncture in the season, it’s real important they hit the ground running. That’s still not to say that you wouldn’t make a trade for the potential future. Jonathan Mingo was that type of trade last year. We didn’t anticipate him really getting in and in a very short time being able to come in here and help. We liked the value on a going forward basis.”



<h2>Are the Cowboys trading for Myles Garrett or another pass rusher?</h2>



The Cowboys have not publicly said that they are looking for a pass rusher, but multiple reports in recent weeks have indicated that they have called several teams to inquire about star players. In fact, insider Jay Glazer mentioned Tyre Hendrickson and Maxx Crosby.


 

 


In this scenario, Jerry Jones was asked whether players like Dak Prescott or other veterans have leverage in the locker room to influence him to make a trade. The owner’s response was hilarious.



“Yeah, except if not in Dak’s case, but except if we’re trading for a player that’s going to take their job. I haven’t had anybody come to the door to try to get that guy in the door (laughs). You get the point. It’s perspective.”

Garrett seems like a very long shot for the Cowboys considering the player’s salary and the fact that, at least in recent hours, several reports have indicated that the Browns are not willing to let go of their star.

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/aidan-hutchinson">Aidan Hutchinson</a> and the Detroit Lions have reportedly agreed to a lucrative contract extension for the defensive end on Wednesday, making him one of the highest-paid pass rushers in the NFL. However, his salary still trails that of Micah Parsons with the Green Bay Packers.



While Hutchinson’s new deal is worth an impressive $45 million per year, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/micah-parsons">Parsons</a> leads the pack with $46.5 million in average annual salary. TJ Watt is third with $41 million per year, followed by Myles Garrett ($40 million). Here’s the top 10:



<ol><li>Micah Parsons (Green Bay Packers): $46.5M</li><li>Aidan Hutchinson (Detroit Lions): $45M</li><li>TJ Watt (Pittsburgh Steelers): $41M</li><li>Myles Garrett (Cleveland Browns): $40M</li><li>Danielle Hunter (Houston Texans): $35.6M</li><li>Maxx Crosby (Las Vegas Raiders): $35.5M</li><li>Nick Bosa (San Francisco 49ers): $34M</li><li>Trey Hendrickson (Cincinnati Bengals): $29M</li><li>Josh Hines-Allen (Jacksonville Jaguars): $28.25M</li><li>Brian Burns (New York Giants): $26.5M</li></ol>



<h2>The terms of Aidan Hutchinson’s new Lions contract</h2>



Adam Schefter of ESPN reported that, according to Hutchinson’s agent Mike McCartney, the star edge rusher’s new contract with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/detroit-lions">Lions</a> is a four-year deal worth $180 million, with $141 million guaranteed — the most ever for a non-quarterback, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251029_BUS_517377_aidan-hutchinson-1024x576_781c2429.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Aidan Hutchinson during a Lions game." class="wp-image-517398" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Aidan Hutchinson during a Lions game.</figcaption></figure>



Selected second overall by Detroit in the 2022 NFL Draft, Hutchinson was under contract through 2026 after the Lions triggered the fifth-year option on his rookie contract. Now, Hutchinson is locked up through 2030.


 

 

 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/nfl-teams-that-have-never-won-or-appeared-in-a-super-bowl"></div>


His extension makes sense, considering how the Michigan product lived up to the expectations that come with being a first-round pick. His performance in the NFL has been fantastic, including a 2023 season that saw him make the Pro Bowl after posting a career-high 11.5 sacks.



A fractured tibia and fibula ended his season prematurely six weeks into the 2024 campaign, but he came back stronger this year. In 2025, Hutchinson boasts six sacks, 29 quarterback pressures (only behind Parsons’ 33), and four forced fumbles (tied with Joey Bosa for the most in the league). In addition, he averages 13.5 sacks over his last 12 appearances.



<h2>Other lucrative extensions in Detroit</h2>



This move confirms the Lions’ commitment to rewarding their best players, having already handed lucrative extensions to multiple stars on their roster since 2024. Let’s take a look at recent extensions in Detroit:



<ul><li>Aidan Hutchinson: 4-years, $180M</li><li>Jared Goff: 4-years, $212M</li><li>Amon-Ra St. Brown: 4-years, $120.01M</li><li>Penei Sewell: 4-years, $112M</li><li>Jameson Williams: 3-years, $80M</li><li>Kerby Joseph: 4-years, $85M</li><li>Alim McNeill: 4-years, $97M</li><li>Taylor Decker: 3-years, $60M</li></ul>

It’s safe to say that Jerry Jones is not <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/micah-parsons" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Micah Parsons</a>’ favorite person. After being traded to the Green Bay Packers, the star pass rusher has taken another big shot at the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/dallas-cowboys" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Dallas Cowboys</a> owner — this time over Trevon Diggs’ situation.



Earlier this year, the Cowboys traded Micah Parsons to the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/green-bay-packers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Packers</a>. The defense lost its biggest star, but he’s not the only key piece this unit has been without.



<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/trevon-diggs" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Trevon Diggs</a> was recently placed on injured reserve, and his return this year is uncertain. Now, Micah Parsons has spoken about his former teammate, taking a jab at Jerry Jones over how he has handled the player’s health.



<h2>Micah Parsons talks about Trevon Diggs’ injury with big shot at Jerry Jones</h2>



When the Cowboys traded Micah Parsons to the Packers, everyone was shocked. The defense suffered a massive loss, but that wasn’t the only bad news to hit the unit this year.



Trevon Diggs missed most of the 2024 season due to a knee injury. He decided not to treat it with the team during the offseason, which led to a reduction in his salary. Against all odds, he played in Week 1 despite reports suggesting he was not at 100%.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/cowboys-news-jerry-jones-breaks-silence-on-maxx-crosby-trey-hendrickson-rumors"></div>


He played the first six games of the season, but a concussion and an injury to his other knee have now landed him on injured reserve. Following these continuous health issues, Micah Parsons slammed the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jerry-jones" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Jerry Jones</a> and Cowboys for mishandling Diggs’ situation.



“Honestly, I feel like they [expletive] my dog over, you know what I mean?” Parsons told Jori Epstein of Yahoo Sports. “He’s coming off a catastrophic knee injury and I just didn’t think they did right by him. He didn’t participate all camp and he’s going out there playing Week 1 and 2. I just don’t think you do that to a player like that…



“And the type of knee injury he had, they forced him out there. He has no reps really. He’s telling me he was in warmup phase during Week 1. Even with the ramp-up, I just feel like you just don’t do that.”



<h2>Will Trevon Diggs continue with the Cowboys in 2026?</h2>



Due to his health problems and the lack of guaranteed money left on his contract, many fans believe Trevon Diggs’ tenure with the Cowboys is over. However, owner Jerry Jones has shut down those rumors.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/jerry-jones-reveals-if-cowboys-blowout-loss-to-broncos-has-changed-his-mind-before-trade-deadline"></div>


Jones said that he doesn’t believe Diggs has played his last game with the Cowboys. Nevertheless, his recovery will be key in determining whether the team decides to keep him or opt to release or trade him next offseason.

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/aaron-rodgers">Aaron Rodgers</a> will face a big challenge when the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/pittsburgh-steelers">Pittsburgh Steelers</a> take on the Green Bay Packers, especially with the arrival of Micah Parsons on Matt LaFleur’s team. 



The veteran quarterback has already dealt with another star pass rusher this season in Myles Garrett, although the Steelers’ offensive line dominated the Browns’ leader. Now, he hopes the story will repeat itself with Parsons.



“Well, I mean, he’s deployed maybe a little different because he moves around a little bit more than maybe Myles does. Again, those two are in the conversation of the very few players in the league that you actually have to have four hands on at all times. Playing against Micah before, he’s a phenomenal player. He’s a future Hall of Famer. He’s a game wrecker and you got to know where he’s at all the time.”



<h2>What did Packers trade for Micah Parsons?</h2>



The Packers traded two first-round picks (2026, 2027) and defensive tackle Kenny Clark in exchange for Micah Parsons. Furthermore, in a key move for the player, Green Bay gave him a four-year, $188 million contract extension with $120 million guaranteed.


 

 


The impact has been remarkable, as Parsons is one of the top players in the NFL at pressuring the quarterback, and the Packers’ defense as a whole excels at preventing explosive plays. Rodgers has taken notice.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/nfl-news-aaron-rodgers-confirms-if-steelers-playing-against-packers-is-a-revenge-game"></div>


“They’re at the top of the league in least amount of explosive plays in the run game and the passing game. So, we got to take care of the football. We got to block up their rushers. It’s not just Micah. Rashan Gary is an elite pass rusher now. They got good guys inside. They have some younger guys to rush on the outside who can play as well. You got to be patient, you can’t turn the ball over and we got to block up front.”

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/green-bay-packers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Green Bay Packers</a> are facing the Arizona Cardinals this week and while teams are looking for a win, the Cheeseheads are looking for justice as they think Micah Parsons is not getting clear calls from the referees.



In fact, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/micah-parsons" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Parsons</a> didn’t hold back when speaking to the media. “There are parts that you hate, and the parts that the league lets go. You can tell how they call the games… We know what they’re trying to do. They want to load the points up so fans can be happy. They’ll call defensive holding, but they won’t call offensive holding. Let’s just wake up. It’s just one of those things that we know what the higher-ups is trying to do.“



Whether those words will cause a fine from the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> or not remains to be seen but Parsons sounded off on refereeing. Parsons also accused the NFL on protecting the offense but not the defense. He advocated for a change of rules.



<h2>LaFleur also spoke on the matter</h2>



Reportedly, the Packers are “frustrated” over plenty of missed “blatant, egregious” holding penalties against Micah Parsons. Speaking to Ryan Wood of USA Today, head coach <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/matt-lafleur" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Matt LaFleur</a> said, “That’s definitely going to be a conversation [between him and refs] pregame,” regarding the situation.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251016_BUS_510525_Matt-LaFleu-1024x576_614eb714.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Head coach Matt LaFleur of the Green Bay Packers" class="wp-image-309369" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Head coach Matt LaFleur of the Green Bay Packers</figcaption></figure>



LaFleur is classy but does have a temper. You can only imagine that if he talks to the officials and a call is clearly missed, he will lose it. Parsons had an 11-game stretch last year where he didn’t get any holding calls. LaFleur clearly doesn’t want that to repeat this time around.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/jordan-love-net-worth"></div>


<h2>Parsons should feast against the Cardinals</h2>



<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/arizona-cardinals" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Arizona</a> is the fifth-team with more sacks allowed this year in the NFL. Parsons should be salivating at the opportunity to make life a living hell for the opposing quarterback. 



Parsons has 2.5 sacks this year in five games played. However, he is rushing the quarterback as he has 8 QB hits. If the holdings were not happening, he might have even more sacks, but he has the opportunity to be a game-wrecker on Sunday.

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/micah-parsons">Micah Parsons</a> wasn’t happy watching the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/philadelphia-eagles">Philadelphia Eagles</a> use the Tush Push in four consecutive plays to score a touchdown against the New York Giants. The reaction of the Packers star player reflected what many were thinking on social media. “This is not football!”



Parsons also added two trash-throwing man emojis to his message. A clear statement that, at least for Micah, a play like that takes all the essence out of football.



We can’t forget that Micah Parsons experienced the effects of the Tush Push firsthand for many years while playing for the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/dallas-cowboys">Dallas Cowboys</a>. NFL owners came very close to banning the controversial play in the offseason, but they didn’t get enough votes. Now, with the sequence in New York and the number of offsides calls the referees haven’t made against the Eagles, this could be the last year for the play.



<h2>What is the Tush Push?</h2>



The Tush Push is a very controversial quarterback sneak play primarily used in short-yardage situations in football, especially by the Eagles. That was a key tool on their playbook to win the last Super Bowl.


 

 


It involves the quarterback taking the snap and immediately leaning forward to gain the necessary yardage, while one or more teammates push him from behind to increase momentum. The play has been effective near the goal line or on third-and-short or fourth-and-short situations, as it can overpower defenders and create a quick path for the quarterback to cross the line of scrimmage.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/josh-allens-bills-warn-rest-of-the-nfl-about-tush-push-with-clear-message-on-eagles-use-of-the-play"></div>


Critics argue that it undermines the traditional aspects of football because it relies more on brute force and teamwork pushing the quarterback rather than skill, strategy, or finesse. Supporters, however, see it as a legitimate tactic that takes advantage of the rules and maximizes the offense’s chance of success in crucial moments.



The NFL has debated whether to ban the “Tush Push” due to safety concerns and the perception that it gives an unfair advantage. Some owners and analysts argue that repeatedly pushing a quarterback from behind increases the risk of injury with the offensive linemen going down quickly on their rivals. Despite this, the play remains legal although, thanks to what happened on Thursday, the end might be soon.

Just three words — “Great game 4” — was Parsons’ message on X, referencing a clip showing <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/dak-prescott">Prescott</a> skillfully escaping much of the Packers’ defensive pressure. Still, Parsons made his presence felt as well, logging 48 snaps in the game.



That wasn’t the only thing Parsons had to say to Prescott. On the field after the game, the former <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/dallas-cowboys">Cowboy</a> approached his old teammate: “Yo, I’m talking about precision timing, like that s— was quick! See I always believed in you boy!” Parsons told Dak. “I’ll see you soon!”



Parsons didn’t hold back in his praise, even admitting the Packers’ defensive line didn’t play up to standard. “You go watch that all-22 and you go look how precise #4 looked tonight…. I think he played a better game than we played defense.”

<h2>Prescott surprised by a Parsons play</h2>



Despite being credited with a touchdown-saving sack in overtime, Prescott was stunned to hear the official ruling from a Melissa Start after the game. “No way!” the quarterback said, before conceding with a smile, “He can have it.”



Reflecting on the matchup beforehand, Prescott had already expressed what it meant to face Parsons. “Just getting to go out there and compete with a guy that’s a good friend, that I’ve competed with in numbers of ways throughout this building, outside of this building,” he told Jon Machota of The Athletic. “Just excited to go and have that matchup. But he’s got five guys up front, plus tight ends and running backs that he’s got to get through. Then we’ll worry about if he can get to me.”

Parsons sends three-word message to Prescott after Packers tie with Cowboys

An unusual thing unfolded during the game that Green Bay Packers star <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/micah-parsons" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Micah Parsons</a> faced his former team the Dallas Cowboys. The match concluded in a rare tie after overtime, sparking a flurry of reactions as both teams expressed dissatisfaction with the Week 4 outcome.



Parsons, when questioned about playing against his former team during the regular season, was forthright in his response. “Honestly, for me, all the emotions I had for Dallas evaporated the moment they traded me,” Parsons told the media, addressing the encounter with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/dallas-cowboys" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Cowboys</a> after four years with the franchise.



Despite enjoying memorable moments with former teammates like Dak Prescott and Trevon Diggs, Parsons was candid about his feelings toward the Cowboys, displeased with how the trade unfolded, particularly concerning Cowboys owner <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jerry-jones" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Jerry Jones</a>‘ handling of the situation.



“The same way he called me into the office as a man, he couldn’t tell me as a man,” Parsons remarked to the media, referencing Jones’ approach to the trade. This comment underscored his mixed emotions about the Cowboys, despite the successful years he spent with the team.

<h2>Parsons’ comments on the trade involving Jones</h2>



Parsons, recently traded to the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/green-bay-packers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Packers</a>, expressed his lack of remaining emotional ties to his former team. He also shared insights into his relationship with Jones, the highly regarded owner of the Cowboys, who initially drafted Parsons in 2021.

“When [Packers GM Brian] Gutekunst told me he was trading for me, he said, ‘Let me call Kenny before it breaks,’ emphasizing the importance of the organization and related matters. I didn’t even get the chance to speak with Jerry Jones, the man who drafted me. I found out through my agent,“ Parsons remarked to the press, illustrating his sentiments towards his former team owner.



<h2>Parsons reflects on the tied game against the Cowboys</h2>



In the aftermath of the unexpected tie against the Cowboys, where the game concluded with both teams scoring 40 points, Parsons shared his thoughts about the need for improvement. It’s not often an NFL matchup finishes in a tie, and Parsons had much to say about this rare occurrence.



“We have 14 more games to figure out how not to put ourselves in the same position again,” Parsons commented. “If we view last week as a fluke coming off a win, it means we’re not delivering our best performance. We need to enhance our play and remain competitive for the challenges ahead.”

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jerry-jones" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Jerry Jones</a> has always been a powerful voice in the narrative of the Dallas Cowboys, and his statements often resonate far beyond the locker room. In recent hours, the owner has responded to comments made by quarterback Dak Prescott about facing Micah Parsons again, a star who made a somewhat turbulent exit to the Green Bay Packers, America’s Team’s weekend rival.



<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/dak-prescott" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Prescott</a> did not hesitate when asked if Sunday’s game against the Packers would provide closure regarding the Parsons trade, which has been a hot topic in the city leading up to Week 4. “You’d have to ask Parsons and owner Jones,” Prescott said, according to the team’s official site.



Jones has not stayed silent and has offered blunt opinions about Parsons’ time with the Cowboys, even suggesting that having <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/cowboys-owner-jerry-jones-downplays-micah-parsons-return-to-dallas-with-the-packers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">the 26-year-old defensive end was not enough to win a Super Bowl</a>. Additionally, the Dallas franchise owner echoed Prescott’s recent statement.



<h2>Jones’ comment on Prescott’s remarks about Parsons</h2>



“Candidly, if closure were an issue, I should’ve had that discussion with the mirror before I made the trade or as I was making the trade. Dak’s absolutely right, that’s when all the drama was gone, when we decided to make the trade,” Jones said on Prescott’s comments about <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/micah-parsons" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Parsons</a> in an interview with 105.3 The Fan.

<h2>Jones’ harsh words about Parsons and the Super Bowl</h2>



“We have huge amounts of experience with the anecdotes that we’ve seen used on us for the last four years. While he does make great plays, there is also a way to approach playing against Micah, as we know, because we didn’t exactly win the Super Bowl during those years,” Jones said.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/caleb-williams-exposes-cowboys-mistake-of-trading-micah-parsons-to-the-packers-proves-jerry-jones-wrong"></div>


“Let’s make no mistake about it. Micah is special, and we all know he is, and he can be disruptive,” Jones continued. His remarks downplayed the weight of losing a star like Parsons. Despite praising him, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/dallas-cowboys" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Cowboys</a>’ owner said that having the 26-year-old defensive end was not enough to win the league.

After parting ways with Micah Parsons, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/dallas-cowboys" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Dallas Cowboys</a> stumbled at the season’s outset, dropping two of their first three games. Discontent simmers among fans, who are quick to critique the team’s front office decisions. For that reason, this weekend’s game against the Green Bay Packers carries extra weight as <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/micah-parsons" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Parsons</a> returns to Dallas. Despite this potential for drama, franchise owner Jerry Jones has opted to minimize the narrative’s significance.



“Micah is special, and we all know he is, and he can be disruptive. But we have huge amounts of experience with the anecdotes that we’ve seen used on us for the last four years, and while he does make great plays, there is also a way to approach playing against Micah, as we know, because we didn’t exactly win the Super Bowl during those years,” <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jerry-jones" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Jerry Jones</a> said, via 105.3 The Fan.



While Jerry Jones’ remarks strike a chord with certain fans, Micah Parsons cannot shoulder the blame for the Cowboys’ Super Bowl drought. At 26, he consistently ranks among the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a>‘s elite players, showcasing his skills season after season. However, a standout defensive end cannot single-handedly secure victories; success requires a cohesive team effort—an element the Cowboys have been missing.



Micah’s absence from Brian Schottenheimer’s roster is glaring. Its collective performance has not improved, and its defense is noticeably weaker compared to last season. For that reason, the upcoming game against the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/green-bay-packers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Packers</a> is pivotal for the Cowboys, as it offers a chance to get their season back on track. They must demonstrate the promised improvement in their defensive run, especially after Jerry Jones highlighted this following Parsons’ departure.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20250926_BUS_498999_GettyImages-2234206494-1-1024x576_8c6fa30d.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="micah parsons pointing" class="wp-image-488061" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Micah Parsons #1 of the Green Bay Packers</figcaption></figure>



<h2>Packers defense shows sharp contrast to Cowboys unit in matchup that could decide game</h2>



Despite their recent setback, the Green Bay Packers have largely dispelled early-season doubts with a promising start. They began with two decisive victories before narrowly falling to the Cleveland Browns, 13-10. Moreover, head coach Matt LaFleur has successfully fortified Green Bay’s defense, creating a formidable unit that stands in stark contrast to the inconsistent defense of the Dallas Cowboys.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/caleb-williams-exposes-cowboys-mistake-of-trading-micah-parsons-to-the-packers-proves-jerry-jones-wrong"></div>


According to analyst Peter Bukowski, the Packers have consistently led the league in defensive DVOA since Micah Parsons joined the team. Meanwhile, the Cowboys find themselves languishing at 32nd in defensive DVOA this season. This stark difference underscores a noticeable decline in the effectiveness of the Cowboys’ defensive strategy.



As the 2025 NFL season kicks off, early performances could set the trajectory for both teams involved. Nonetheless, Brian Schottenheimer’s squad has a chance to shift its narrative with an improved showing, potentially revitalizing its campaign after a rocky start. This matchup carries weight, extending beyond just the spotlight on Micah’s return to Dallas.

In Week 3, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/chicago-bears" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Chicago Bears</a> managed to defeat the Dallas Cowboys. During the game, Caleb Williams clearly exposed Jerry Jones’ mistake of trading <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/micah-parsons" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Micah Parsons</a> to the Packers.



Prior to the 2025 NFL season, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/dallas-cowboys" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Cowboys</a> decided against giving Micah Parsons a new contract. Instead, the NFC East franchise shocked the league by sending him to <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/green-bay-packers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Green Bay</a> in a trade no one saw coming.



Just three games into the campaign, many are already pointing out how costly that decision was. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/caleb-williams" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Caleb Williams</a> added to the criticism, putting Jerry Jones on notice about the impact of losing Parsons to the Packers.



<h2>Caleb Williams, Bears expose Cowboys’ mistake of trading Micah Parsons</h2>



In Week 3, the Bears secured their first win of the season by defeating the Cowboys. The game was competitive for a while, but Chicago’s offense ultimately outclassed Dallas’ defense.



The Bears came out on top 31-14, with Caleb Williams shining so much that he was named NFC Offensive Player of the Week. However, that wasn’t the only milestone he achieved against Dallas.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/dak-prescott-makes-something-clear-about-micah-parsons-ahead-of-cowboys-vs-packers-clash"></div>


For the first time in his NFL career, Caleb Williams was not sacked in a game. He attempted 28 passes in what was his 20th career appearance, and the Cowboys never laid a hand on him.



That stat highlighted two major points: the improvement of Chicago’s offensive line, and—more importantly—the massive hole Dallas now has in its pass rush without Micah Parsons.
