Micah Parsons Fires Back at Colin Cowherd for “Trash” Take About Packers’ Loss to Eagles

November 13, 2025 | Green Bay, Wisconsin

The Green Bay Packers’ 10–7 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday Night Football has sparked widespread debate across the NFL. With Green Bay’s offense stalling and their playoff hopes momentarily dimming, questions about the team’s legitimacy as a contender — and even head coach Matt LaFleur’s job security — have flooded sports talk shows. But one take went too far for star linebacker Micah Parsons.

On Tuesday’s episode of The Herd, Fox Sports analyst Colin Cowherd criticized Parsons for failing to record a sack or quarterback hit in each of his last two games. Cowherd claimed this was proof that Parsons is an “overhyped splash player” and that his struggles against the run offset his pass-rushing impact.

Parsons didn’t let that slide. Within hours, he fired back directly on X (formerly Twitter), calling Cowherd’s segment “trash.”

“We just held Saquon Barkley to 60 rushing yards, and our only losses have been holding teams to 13 points!” Parsons wrote, followed by several laughing emojis. “Man, sometimes can y’all please just stfu and enjoy great defense! Why do you think teams come into games planning to run on 3rd and long? What effect do you think that is? Please stop giving people mics or listening to trash!”

It was a sharp, unapologetic response — and one backed by facts.

Despite back-to-back losses, Green Bay’s defense remains one of the most disciplined in the league. In their three defeats this season, opponents scored 16, 13, and 10 points, respectively — evidence that the Packers’ issues stem from offensive inefficiency, not defensive breakdowns.

Against Philadelphia, Parsons and company limited Saquon Barkley to just 60 rushing yards and held the Eagles to only 111 total rushing yards. Still, Barkley’s 41-yard catch late in the fourth quarter set up the only touchdown of the game, sealing the narrow win for Philadelphia.

Statistically, the Packers currently rank sixth in the NFL in rushing yards allowed per game, further supporting Parsons’s argument. According to PFF metrics, he remains the league’s top pass rusher, while ranking 24th among EDGE defenders in run defense — a figure still graded as “good.” Through eight games, Parsons has logged 22 tackles and 6.5 sacks.

Cowherd’s remarks quickly drew criticism from fans who noted that the Packers’ defense has been the only consistent bright spot during their recent struggles.

As the Packers prepare to face the New York Giants next week, Parsons will have another opportunity to silence his critics — not with words, but with plays that reaffirm why he’s still one of the NFL’s most dominant defenders.

Cowboys Owner Jerry Jones Issues Blanket Ban on All North Shore Fans for 5 Games After Assault on Black Female Cowboys Fan — Viral Video Shocks NFL, Sends Uncompromising Message About Respect
Arlington, Texas – December 23, 2025 A rare and forceful decision has been made at the home of the Dallas Cowboys. After a video capturing violent chaos involving groups from North Shore and Duncanville spread rapidly online, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones issued an unprecedented order: a ban on all North Shore fans from attending the next five games at AT&T Stadium. The action followed confirmation by authorities that a Black female Cowboys fan was assaulted as the brawl spilled into the stadium concourse. The more than two-minute cellphone video—shaky and raw—shows punches thrown, people dragged to the ground, and disorder cascading through the crowd. Security personnel in reflective vests and adults rushed in to separate the groups as children, women, and other spectators were caught in the turmoil. The images quickly transcended the scope of a schoolyard fight, becoming a security shock inside a venue widely regarded as family-friendly. 🚨🚨THIS IS INSANE🚨🚨A massive FIGHT broke out at the #Cowboys stadium between the North Shore and Duncanville schools in Jerry World.Punches. Shoving. Brutal blows to the face.One of the wildest brawls you will ever see inside the stadium 😳😳😳pic.twitter.com/53NE1iYCN9 — MLFootball (@MLFootball) December 22, 2025 In a statement released Tuesday morning, the Cowboys emphasized that the ban takes effect immediately and will be strictly enforced in coordination with stadium security. The move is intended not only to address the incident at hand, but also to establish a firm standard for accountability and fan conduct at major sporting events. “What occurred in that video doesn’t just damage the image of a game—it violates every value we stand for,” Jerry Jones said. “AT&T Stadium must be a place where families, women, and children can enter without fear. When any group turns passion into violence and harms others—especially a female fan—we will not tolerate it. No hesitation. No compromise.” The Cowboys’ decision reverberated across the NFL. Players, coaches, and former veterans voiced support, calling it a necessary signal as crowd-related incidents grow more complex nationwide. Security experts noted that a clearly defined, time-bound ban can serve as an effective deterrent—protecting fans while preserving the league’s image. For the Cowboys, this is more than crisis management. It is a statement of values: football may be physical on the field, but off the field, safety and respect are non-negotiable. As the season reaches its most intense stretch, Jerry Jones’ message to the NFL is unmistakable—the stands are no place for violence, and anyone who crosses that line will pay the price.
