The Packers\u00a0lost to the Eagles on\u00a0Monday Night Football<\/em>\u00a0<\/em>this week, 10-7, in what was quite an ugly nationally-televised affair. It was a bad enough loss that Tuesday has brought about\u00a0plenty of doubts regarding Green Bay\u2019s position\u00a0as a contender in the NFC and\u00a0even questions about coach Matt LaFleur\u2019s job status. It\u2019s also led to plenty of sports TV segments examining the flaws of the Packers, and Colin Cowherd did so by taking aim at Micah Parsons.<\/p>\n On Tuesday\u2019s episode of his show,\u00a0The Herd<\/em>, Cowherd discussed Parsons failing to record a sack or QB hit in each of the last two games. He presented this as proof that all the hype surrounding Parsons was overdone and the All-Pro pass-rusher is simply a \u201csplash\u201d player who isn\u2019t as good as his reputation suggests. Cowherd also repeated a common criticism of Parsons\u2019s game\u2014that he struggles to defend the run to a degree that it offsets his effectiveness as a sack artist.<\/p>\n Parsons saw the clip and didn\u2019t hesitate to fire back at what he considered to be a \u201ctrash\u201d take from the Fox Sports personality.<\/p>\n \u201cWe just held Saquon Barkley to 60 rushing yards, and our only losses have been holding teams to 13 points!\u201d Parsons\u00a0wrote on X with several laughing emojis. \u201cMan, sometimes can y\u2019all?Please stfu and enjoy great defense! 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!\u201d<\/p>\n It\u2019s a fair rebuttal from the Packers star. In the three games Green Bay has lost in the 2025 NFL season, the Panthers scored the most points in a 16-13 victory. The other two defeats the Packers\u2019 opponents scored 13 and 10 points, respectively. Barkley couldn\u2019t get anything going on the ground Monday night and the team as a whole managed only 111 yards rushing, although his 41-yard catch in the fourth quarter set up the only Philly touchdown of the evening. Given those facts it\u2019s fair to say the Packers\u2019 losses this year have been mostly the result of offensive ineptitude rather than a leaky defense. It should be noted, though, that they gave up 40 to the Cowboys in a tie as well.<\/p>\n To give further credence to Parsons\u2019s point, the Packers rank sixth in the NFL in rushing yards allowed per game. In regards to Parsons specifically, he\u2019s the NFL\u2019s top pass rusher\u00a0by PFF metrics\u00a0but ranked 24th in run defense among all EDGE players. However, his run defense grade is still considered \u201cgood\u201d by those metrics. On the year, he has 22 tackles and 6.5 sacks.<\/p>\n Parsons has an opportunity to fire back at Cowherd on the field this week with a matchup against the Giants next on the schedule.<\/p>\n Denver Broncos icon Von Miller, the Super Bowl 50 MVP and one of the most dominant pass rushers in NFL history, is making headlines once again \u2014 this time for a possible return to the place where his legendary career began.<\/p>\n Now a free agent after being released by the Buffalo Bills in March 2025, Miller, 36, is openly yearning for a Mile High reunion.
