The Green Bay Packers are set to face off against the Denver Broncos in Week 15. There are some who believe that this week’s matchup could be a preview of this year’s Super Bowl.
Entering the game, the Packers hold a 9-3-1 record and are currently leading the NFC North division. As for the Broncos, they are 10-3 and trail just the New England Patriots for the best record in the AFC.
Both teams are loaded with talent on both sides of the football. This is going to be a very difficult matchup for both squads.
With that being said, Green Bay superstar pass rusher Micah Parsons has been put on notice before facing Denver.

Ahead of Sunday’s game, Parsons is being viewed as one of the Packers’ biggest X-Factors.
Jacob Slinkman of Green Bay Packers on SI made it clear how big he views Parsons’ role for this week’s game.
“If Parsons can have an even better game this week to try and match the strength of the Broncos’ defensive line, it could be the difference between a win and a loss for the Packers,” Slinkman wrote. “Bo Nix has been held without a passing touchdown just twice this season, and he was sacked multiple times in both of those games.”

Parsons has been an absolute monster for Green Bay so far in his first season with the team. He was held to no sacks last week, which should have him even hungrier to get after Bo Nix and the Broncos.
Through his first 13 games with the Packers, the 26-year-old superstar has racked up 39 total tackles, 12.5 sacks, and a forced fumble. He’ll be looking to add onto those numbers this week.
Green Bay is scheduled to kick off against Denver at 4:25 p.m. ET. Fans will be able to watch the game on Fox.
