Micah Parsons Rips Officiating as Packers Plan Pregame Plea to Watch Holds

Green Bay escalates concerns before Week 7 after a Bengals game with no holding flags on 46 dropbacks.

Overview

  • Parsons said officials favor offenses and claimed he has gone five years without getting a call in his favor, acknowledging his remarks could draw a fine.
  • Head coach Matt LaFleur said he will speak with the officiating crew in Arizona to highlight what the Packers view as missed and egregious holds on Parsons.
  • Against Cincinnati, the Bengals drew zero holding penalties on 46 Joe Flacco dropbacks, including a snap where Orlando Brown Jr. appeared to tackle Parsons.
  • Parsons argued player-safety enforcement is one-sided, citing an eye poke that popped a blood vessel and led him to change his facemask without a flag.
  • He criticized the Eagles’ tush push as unfair and difficult to stop, noting the Packers face Philadelphia next month while insisting defenses need equal protection.
