The Green Bay Packers, boosted by their recent trade acquisition of Micah Parsons, have started the season with two dominant wins. Their defense, significantly strengthened by Parsons, effectively shut down Washington's offense in a 27-18 victory. Parsons' impact is evident in the Packers' ability to consistently pressure opposing quarterbacks, limiting their effectiveness. This strong start, against two challenging opponents from last season, suggests the Packers could be a serious contender in the NFC.
