The Packers' trade for Micah Parsons is already paying off

The Green Bay Packers, weeks after trading for Micah Parsons, stopped an elite defense for the second straight week and appear to be a top contender in the NFC.

Sitting at a broadcast desk alongside Amazon analysts Thursday night, Micah Parsons bobbed his head as fans in front of him in the Lambeau Field stands started chanting.

"Thank you, Jerry!"

Pumping his left arm in the air, Parsons motioned for the chant to go louder.

"Thank you, Jerry!"

Jerry is Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, who stunningly opted to trade Parsons, the team's just-entering-his-prime star edge rusher, to Green Bay on Aug. 28 after a breakdown in negotiations for a contract extension. Only two weeks later, the trade that led Parsons to a massive payday has already paid dividends for the Packers, too.
