Two weeks ago, Packers linebacker Micah Parsons had a career-high three sacks against the Cardinals. On Sunday against the Panthers, he had a career low.
Via the NFL’s NextGenStats, Parsons had 21 pass rushes and zero pressures. It was Parsons’s first career game without a single pressure. He was double-teamed on six of his pass rushes.
