Micah Parsons fuels rivalry enthusiasm ahead of Packers-Lions clash

Even before his recent trade to the Green Bay Packers from the Dallas Cowboys, linebacker Micah Parsons had a firm stance on the Detroit Lions. The star defender made this clear during a media session following practice, expressing his longstanding feelings about the team.

Parsons articulated his sentiments candidly, stating, “Honestly, I felt like Dallas and Detroit already had a rivalry. I already got that rivalry built up. I’m excited to play them. I never liked Detroit. I never liked them, even when I was in Dallas.”

His disdain for the Lions is rooted in the competitive nature of their encounters. “It was always just a heavyweight fight every time they came in,” he recalled. “And they kind of got our guys when I was injured last year, or the whole team was injured. So I just think it’s funny how things work. I’m excited to play them. I know they’re excited, and I think it’s going to go all 12-15 rounds.”

During his time with the Cowboys, Parsons faced the Lions twice and emerged victorious in both matchups. However, he missed the 2024 meeting, a game that saw Detroit dominate Dallas with a staggering 47-9 scoreline. This contest was particularly notable as it resulted in a significant injury for Lions’ star edge rusher Aidan Hutchinson, who suffered a broken tibia and fibula.

Parsons’ fiery comments resonate deeply with Packers fans, who share a passionate rivalry with the Lions. This animosity has intensified, especially as the Lions have had the upper hand in recent years, winning six out of their last seven encounters with Green Bay.

As the Packers prepare to host the Lions at Lambeau Field this Sunday for their Week 1 showdown, the stakes are high. With Parsons’ fervor added to the mix, the atmosphere is set for an electrifying clash that promises to be a true test of wills.
