The Packers traded a pair of first-round picks and other assets to Dallas because they thought Micah Parsons would be a difference maker on their defense and that’s exactly what he proved to be in October.
Parsons helped Green Bay to a 3-0 record in October by recording nine tackles, four sacks, five tackles for loss, and six quarterback hits. Three of those sacks came in a Week 7 win over the Cardinals and Parsons added another one in last Sunday night’s win over the Steelers.
The effort was recognized by the NFL on Wednesday. The league named Parsons the NFC’s defensive player of the month.
It’s the second time Parsons has taken that prize. The first came while he was with the Cowboys and the Packers will be looking for more of the same for the rest of his time with the team.
