Micah Parsons is rewriting Green Bay Packers' history, matching Reggie White's legendary sack streak. Unleash him, and he conquers quarterbacks.
Micah Parsons had two sacks as the Green Bay Packers unloaded on the Minnesota Vikings during the second half of Sunday.

Micah Parsons and the Dallas Cowboys head into their Week 12 meeting with Minnesota sitting at 6-3-1. The star pass rusher has remained a central piece of the defense all season long, bringing steady pressure and constant disruption to opposing offenses.
