Having missed pre-season games at Dallas because of his contract holdout with the Cowboys, Parsons’ game time was again limited.<\/p>\n

After playing in 45% of the Packers’ defensive snaps against the Lions, his workload was increased to 67% and he registered half a sack on Commanders quarterback Daniels, who found Deebo Samuel for a late consolation score.<\/p>\n

For the first time since 1995, Green Bay have given up fewer than 250 yards in each of their first two games of the season.<\/p>\n

“We made them earn everything,” said defensive end Parsons. “J-Love, I think you give us 20 points, we should be able to win the game. It’s all about getting stops and getting the ball back to the offence.<\/p>\n

“As you saw with Baltimore and Buffalo [on Sunday],<\/a> your quarterback can have a near perfect game but still lose because guess what, the defence gave up, what, 40 points? So, defence wins championships.”<\/p>\n

Parsons hopes for more game time away to Cleveland next week before facing his former team Dallas in week four.<\/p>\n

“Hopefully, they just let me off,” said the 26-year-old. “They can’t hold a dog back forever, man.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
