Matt LaFleur’s 2-Word Message for Micah Parsons as Packers DE Breaks Silence on Debut

It wouldn’t be wrong to say the world held its breath for Micah Parsons’ debut. The defensive end had missed the training camp activities because of his back issues in Dallas. And unfortunately, he carried that to his new home too. The Packers limited him in practice all week and even listed him as questionable on Friday’s injury report before finally declaring him active for the game to deliver the most electric performance against the Lions.

The Packers went on to notch an enthralling 27-13 win over their NFC North rival, the Lions. And Parsons? Despite limited snaps, he came through in the clutch with a late fourth-quarter sack on Jared Goff. Head coach Matt LaFleur was fired up afterward, calling the defensive end’s performance explosive and even likening it to the flash of a shooting star. As Zach Kruse reported, LaFleur called Parsons’ performance “very impactful.”

“That’s why he’s here, right? That was really exciting to see. I definitely know that our crowd reacted the right way as well. I don’t know if I’ve ever heard our crowd much louder than when they introduced him, and certainly on that sack,” the coach said, as per Zach Jacobson.
