Micah Parsons SLAMS Packers in Explosive Rant After Upset by Lowly Team

The Green Bay Packers came back down to earth on Sunday, falling 13-10 to the Cleveland Browns in a game that reminded everyone - including the team itself - that nothing comes easy in the NFL. After two dominant performances to open the season, Green Bay looked poised to make an early statement. Instead, they ran into a Browns squad that, on paper, had no business handing them their first L of the year.
Let’s start with the obvious: the Packers' offense simply didn’t show up. After lighting up scoreboards in Weeks 1 and 2, they stumbled hard in Cleveland.
Drives stalled, the rhythm was off, and the energy just wasn’t there. Whether it was execution, play-calling, or a mix of both, the unit that looked explosive against Detroit and Washington suddenly looked pedestrian.
And while the offense took center stage in the disappointment department, the defense didn’t exactly save the day either. This was a winnable game - a gritty, low-scoring affair where one big defensive play could’ve flipped the script. That moment never came.
After the game, Micah Parsons - who joined the Packers via a blockbuster trade this offseason and has already become a vocal leader in the locker room - didn’t mince words.
“This is all part of adversity. Undefeated seasons, they’re hard.
Let’s be real. Sometimes, just like today, you s**t the bed.
That’s just the reality. It happens to the best teams.
Even the best Super Bowl champs make mistakes, and they pay for it,” Parsons said postgame.
Parsons’ comment may raise an eyebrow - especially the part about undefeated seasons, considering we’re only three weeks in - but his point stands. Even great teams have off days, and this was one of them. The Packers didn’t just get outplayed; they got out-executed in key moments, and that’s what stings the most.
Coming into Week 3, the hype was real. Two statement wins had fans dreaming big, maybe even prematurely.
But Sunday’s loss was a gut check. This is still a team with plenty to prove, especially considering the core of this roster is largely the same one that got steamrolled by the Eagles in last year’s playoffs.
Parsons is the big addition - and he’s already playing like a difference-maker - but one star can’t carry an entire team every week.
Green Bay now sits at 2-1, and while that’s still a solid start, the reality check came early. With expectations tempered, the focus shifts to how this team responds.
Next up: a road trip to Dallas, where Parsons will face his former team in what’s sure to be a charged atmosphere. It’s a big stage for a bounce-back opportunity - and a chance for the Packers to show that Sunday’s stumble was just that: a stumble, not a sign of trouble ahead.
