Parsons recorded five tackles, four tackles for loss and a career-high three sacks in Green Bay’s 27-23 win at Arizona. This marked Parsons’ 16th career game with at least two sacks, tied with T.J. Watt for the fifth-most such games by a player in his first five seasons since 1982. Only Pro Football Hall of Famers Reggie White (24 games), Richard Dent (19) and Jared Allen (17) as well as J.J. Watt (21) have more.
This is the fourth-career Defensive Player of the Week award for Parsons and first as a Packer. Parsons is the third Packers defensive lineman to earn the honor in the past 20 seasons (2006-25), joining Aaron Kampman (twice) and Dean Lowry.
Parsons ties Cameron Wake (four-time winner) for the most Defensive Players of the Week awards won by a former Penn State player.
