The Packers will hope Parsons can keep the momentum he gained against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 7 to get after Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers on &#8220;Sunday Night Football.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Parsons had a relatively slow start to racking up sack numbers with the Packers after Green Bay traded for him on Aug. 28. The 2021 first-round pick registered 2.5 sacks through his first five games with the Packers.<\/p>\n<p>However, Parsons looked more like the All-Pro player NFL fans were accustomed to seeing during his days with the Dallas Cowboys, recording three sacks in the Packers&#8217; 27-23 win over the Cardinals.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yardbarker.com\/media\/7\/1\/714aff77f4b166f6867d7b4b616179e1a2ce79c1\/thumb_16x9\/packers-micah-parsons-tom-brady-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Micah Parsons makes fiery vow as he urges Packers to 'punish' Bengals in  Week 6 | Yardbarker\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>League officials penalized Parsons for one play he made against Arizona. He was flagged for using a hip-drop tackle to sack quarterback Jacoby Brissett in the second quarter. Green Bay incurred a 15-yard penalty for the action, giving the Cardinals a first down at the Arizona 40-yard line.<\/p>\n<p>The Cardinals would score a field goal on the drive to cut the Packers&#8217; lead to 6-3.<\/p>\n<p>Parsons could have faced a fine for making a hip-drop tackle. New York Jets defensive lineman Quinnen Williams was fined\u00a0$17,389\u00a0for a hip-drop tackle in Week 3. The league has made the hip-drop tackle a point of emphasis to officiate because it can lead to serious injury.<\/p>\n<p>Per Howard Balzer of USA Today, the league chose not to fine the star defensive end for an illegal tackle.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Entering Week 7, there had been nine hip-drop tackles where players were fined no penalties called,&#8221; Blazer posted on X. &#8220;However, Packers DE Micah Parsons was penalized for one last Sunday against the Cardinals, but there was no fine.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The flag against Parsons came days after he was critical of officials allowing players to hold him without being penalized for holding.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It\u2019s just one of them things,\u201d Parsons\u00a0said. \u201cFive years of not getting a call, you eventually stop worrying about it. I think I just got to keep going. That\u2019s the hunt, yeah. That\u2019s part of the challenge is you just got to keep going.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>This week, the league issued Parsons a call in his favor, saving him from a double-digit fine for Week 7.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Green Bay Packers defensive end Micah Parsons made a hip-drop tackle in Week 7.
