Micah Parsons Declares Showdown With Jayden Daniels: ‘I’m Taking That Golden Shield’”
Parsons, acquired from the Dallas Cowboys on August 28 in a trade involving two first-round picks and Kenny Clark, has already made his presence felt in Green Bay. His résumé speaks volumes: 13 sacks, 64 tackles, and three forced fumbles in his rookie year, followed by 52.5 sacks and nine forced fumbles across four seasons in Dallas. In 2023, he led the NFL with 14 sacks. Now on a four-year, $188 million deal with $136 million guaranteed, he introduced himself to Packers fans with a dominant debut — 2.5 sacks and three tackles for loss in a 38–10 victory over the Lions on September 7.

The Week 2 clash against Washington will spotlight Parsons against Daniels, the 2024 Offensive Rookie of the Year, who proudly wears the Golden NFL Shield Patch on his jersey this season. Daniels, drafted second overall, dazzled as a rookie with 3,568 passing yards, 25 touchdowns, and 1,209 rushing yards, proving himself one of the league’s most dangerous dual-threat quarterbacks. He opened 2025 with a commanding 21–6 win over the Giants.
Kickoff is scheduled for Thursday, September 11, 2025, at 8:15 PM ET at Lambeau Field, streaming live on Amazon Prime Video. The game sets the stage for one of the league’s most intriguing early-season battles: Parsons’ relentless pass rush against Daniels’ quick feet
