The Washington Commanders pulled out a wild tactic to stop Micah Parsons on Thursday Night Football against the Green Bay Packers. With Jayden Daniels scrambling on an 8-yard run, the Commanders blocked Parsons with three players. Despite the hold drawn by Parsons, he still managed to team up with Edgerrin Cooper to sack Daniels on a crucial third-and-short play.

Parsons, who joined the Packers before the 2025 season in a high-profile trade with the Dallas Cowboys, has already made waves despite dealing with a minor back injury. After playing just 29 snaps in his debut against the Detroit Lions, Parsons talked his way into getting more time on the field. His aggressive play style and relentless pursuit have quickly made him a nightmare for quarterbacks.
The Commanders, looking to slow down Parsons, resorted to a triple-team block when Daniels tried to escape. But Parsons stayed engaged and was part of a pivotal sack that stymied Washington’s offense. This showed the defensive star’s ability to impact the game even when opponents throw unconventional tactics at him.
Meanwhile, the Packers capitalized on key opportunities, but also faced some close calls. Kicker Matt Gay narrowly missed a 52-yard field goal, hitting the right upright, shortly after missing another field goal when the Packers declined a clear holding penalty.
Jayden Daniels had been effective early, mixing his passing with scrambles, but Parsons’ pressure kept the Commanders’ offense on edge. Daniels got some tough runs and passes, but found it difficult to consistently break free with Parsons chasing him relentlessly.
This game spotlighted why Parsons is such a valuable and feared player in the NFL. No matter the tactic, he’s a defensive force who can change the course of a game. The Commanders showed creativity trying to contain him, but Parsons proved why he’s worth every bit of the Packers’ investment. Things got worse for the Commanders after they lost their DE Deatrich Wise to a scary injury.
The Packers and Commanders face off with a lot at stake, including possible NFC playoff positioning. Parsons’ impact on defense will be a storyline to watch as the Packers look to build around their new star. This Wild tactic by the Commanders was bold, but Parsons stood strong and made his presence felt on the prime-time stage.
