Micah Parsons recorded his first sack as a Green Bay Packer on Sunday against the Detroit Lions and it was tough to watch for his former Dallas Cowboys teammate.
Parsons' sack came in the fourth quarter of the contest. Lions quarterback Jared Goff tried to escape pressure by rolling out to his right, but Parsons easily outran the much slower Goff to pick up the sack.
It has become quite evident just how much of a difference-maker Parsons is going to be in Green Bay. The Packers ate the Lions' offense alive in all facets and Parsons played a huge part in that, even with playing limited snaps.
Upon seeing Parsons' first sack, Cowboys cornerback Trevon Diggs had a tough time accepting the reality of the superstar linebacker playing for the Packers.
"This can't be real," Diggs wrote. "Wake me up from the dream."

We think he means nightmare, but you get the point.
That wasn't the only impact play Parsons made during the game. He got multiple pressures, with one of them leading to a Goff interception.
It's going to take a long time for the Cowboys and their fans to get over the Parsons trade and, quite honestly, that may never happen.
If Parsons goes on to win a Super Bowl in Green Bay, it's going to be even more impossible to shake the pain of Jerry Jones having traded away a generational talent.
As the Packers coasted to their first victory of the 2025 campaign, the Cowboys put up a good fight against the Philadelphia Eagles put simply couldn't close out the deal.
Maybe having Parsons on the roster could've been the difference because he has certainly been a game-changer for Green Bay so far.
