It is a small sample size but Micah Parsons and the Green Bay Packers (2-0) appear to be among the elite in the NFL in 2025. That perfect mark will get tested on the road this weekend in Cleveland against Joe Flacco and the Browns (0-2).
After a competitive game to open the season – a 17-16 loss at home to Cincinnati – the Browns were waxed in Week 2 by the Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens, 41-17. The issues revolve primarily around the offense for Cleveland. The Browns are averaging just 82 yards rushing per game and more importantly just two touchdowns per game. Not sure how that changes but improvement is needed.
The Packers have to be feeling pretty good two weeks into the campaign. In knocking off the Lions and the Commanders, Green Bay has wins over fellow NFC contenders which could loom large in terms of playoff seeding and home field advantage. The scary part for the rest of the NFC? Jordan Love’s numbers are somewhat pedestrian. The exception is he has yet to throw an interception.
Can Cleveland’s defense force an interception or turnover of any kind and in the process keep the Browns in the game against the Pack? Lets take a deeper dive into this Week 3 matchup between the Packers and the Browns.
