Overview

• Cleveland hosts Green Bay on Sunday, pitting star pass rushers Myles Garrett and Micah Parsons on the same field.
• A cleveland.com review of 2021–24 data shows Parsons leading key efficiency metrics, including pass‑rush win rate (29.33% vs 22.62%), total pressures (330 vs 320) and PFF Pass Rush Productivity (12.02 vs 10.3).
• Pro Football Reference credits both with 59 quarterback knockdowns over the last four seasons, with PFF charting Parsons ahead in run‑defensive stops (80 to 71) as counting totals reflect role and tenure differences.
• Parsons was traded to the Packers for two first‑round picks and DT Kenny Clark and signed a four‑year, $188 million deal averaging about $47 million per year; Garrett’s four‑year extension averages $40 million.
• Garrett called both players among the best of their generation, while early 2025 figures show him tied for the league lead with 3.5 sacks and Parsons at 1.5 sacks with nine pressures after managed snaps for a back issue.
