Overview

  • Carolina beat Green Bay 16-13 in Week 9 as Rico Dowdle carried 25 times for 130 yards and two touchdowns.
  • Micah Parsons was quoted by Pam Oliver saying, “Dallas didn’t know how to use him. Carolina does,” referencing Dowdle’s breakout.
  • Parsons also noted the Packers’ missed opportunity against a limited passing day, pointing out Bryce Young’s 11-of-20, 102-yard line in the win.
  • Parsons’ individual output was modest with three tackles and no sacks, though FanSided credited him with a season-high 1.5 stuffs against the run.
  • Coverage ties Green Bay’s run-defense issues to roster fallout from the Dallas trade, reported as driven by Jerry Jones’ refusal to meet Parsons’ contract demands and including Kenny Clark heading to the Cowboys.
