\"The<\/p>\n

Packers star\u00a0Micah Parsons\u00a0is going to be a little bit lighter in the pockets following last week’s loss to the Eagles.<\/p>\n

Green Bay came up just short in a low scoring Week 10 game that saw its defense hold the defending Super Bowl champs to just a touchdown and a field goal. However, lack of pressure on\u00a0Jalen Hurts\u00a0and a less than stellar\u00a0performance\u00a0from\u00a0Jordan Love\u00a0and the Packers offense gave the team its third loss of the year.<\/p>\n

Parsons only had two tackles in the disappointing defeat \u2014 leading to a strange back-and-forth with FOX Sports 1’s\u00a0Colin Cowherd. But it was a\u00a0moment\u00a0late in the fourth quarter involving Eagles running back\u00a0Saquon Barkley\u00a0that caught the attention of the NFL’s league office.<\/p>\n

Barkley appeared to intentionally get tripped up by Parsons on a 2nd-and-7 run from Philly’s own 44-yard line with a little over four minutes to go in the “Monday Night Football” contest.<\/p>\n

And even though a flag wasn’t thrown, it still resulted in discipline from Roger Goodell and Co. According to Mike Florio of\u00a0ProFootballTalk, Parsons was fined $12,172 for sticking his leg out on the Eagles’ star RB \u2014 which should’ve been a 15-yard penalty had referees spotted it in real-time.<\/p>\n

Had Barkley not been tripped he likely would’ve broken a big run and not given the Pack a chance to potentially win or tie things up in the final seconds.<\/p>\n

Following the Packers’ primetime loss, Micah was\u00a0called out\u00a0by prominent sports talk voice Colin Cowherd who claimed the former Dallas Cowboy has always been a “splash” player and not someone that can adequately defend the run.<\/p>\n

\u201cMicah is a great athlete and a heat-seeking missile. He is great to have in Green Bay when they lead games in the fourth quarter. But when they don\u2019t and the offense dries up, he\u2019s not very good at the run, so Philadelphia at the end of the game can try to run the clock down and just run at Micah,\u201d Cowherd claimed.<\/p>\n

That led to a pretty visceral response from the two-time All-Pro on X, who essentially told the syndicated radio host to “stfu.”<\/p>\n

“We just held Saquon Barkley to 60 rushing yards, and our only losses have been holding teams to 13 points! Man, sometimes can y\u2019all?Please stfu and enjoy great defense!” Parsons\u00a0exclaimed. “Why do you think teams come into the games that were going to run the ball on 3rd and long? What effect do you think that is? Please stop giving people\u2019s mics or listening to trash!”<\/p>\n

Colin addressed Micah’s comments on the air the following day where he doubled-down on his opinion, leading the four-time Pro Bowler to\u00a0challenge Cowherd: \u201cIf you think you\u2019re better than me, switch jobs for the day.\u201d<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Minnesota Wild\u00a0(8-7-4) is back on home ice tonight to host the\u00a0Vegas Golden Knights\u00a0(8-4-5).\u00a0\u00a0The Wild will be without forward Vladimir Tarasenko for the second straight game.<\/p>\n

Tarasenko, 33, has two goals and ten points in 18 games this year for the Wild.\u00a0He missed Saturday’s game against the Anaheim Ducks\u00a0with a lower-body injury and will not play again on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Wild head coach John Hynes said after the game that Tarasenko’s status will be day-to-day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
