The Green Bay Packers escaped Week 7 with another win.
They didn’t do so in a dominant fashion, but all that matters is that they pulled it off on the road against the Arizona Cardinals.
More than that, they proved why they were so eager to acquire Micah Parsons, and why they gave up so much in a trade to get the edge rusher from the Dallas Cowboys and signed him to a record-breaking contract extension.
As pointed out by Packers Realm, Parsons posted a career-high three sacks in the win and had five tackles, four tackles for loss and five QB hits.

One of those sacks kept the Cardinals away from the end zone, and they had to settle for a field goal instead.
Ultimately, that left the door open for the Packers to march down the field and score the go-ahead touchdown.
Parsons was the biggest factor in this game.
He wreaked havoc at the line of scrimmage, beating his opposition almost every time to keep Arizona quarterback Jacoby Brissett under duress.
The Cardinals’ offensive line simply had no answer for Parsons, and he rose to the occasion when it mattered most.
The All-Pro was off to a somewhat slow start to the season, at least statistically.
But after this epic performance, he’s up to 5.5 sacks in six games.
That’s behind the 9.0 sacks league leaders Brian Burns and Byron Young have, but they have played one more game, and another performance like this will push Parsons closer to the top.
