Green Bay Packers edge-rusher Micah Parsons put himself in a company of one during Thursday's Thanksgiving Day game against the Detroit Lions.

Parsons made NFL history on Thursday, as he became the first player ever to record 12 or more sacks in each of his first five seasons in the league. The 26-year-old entered Ford Field with 10 sacks on the season, and he left with 12.5, half a sack behind Brian Burns for the second-most in the league.

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff made franchise history during the team's game against the New York Giants.

According to the post by NFL +, the league’s official streaming service, Parsons has now entered the top five for most sacks in a player's first five seasons. The stat goes back to 1982, when sacks became an official stat. Parsons now has 65, which allowed him to overtake Dexter Manley and DeMarcus Ware on the list.

Green Bay Packers star Micah Parsons continued his dominant play with several statistical accomplishments in the victory over the Detroit Lions.

The Detroit Lions, led by quarterback Jared Goff, face the Green Bay Packers, led by quarterback Jordan Love, on Thursday, Nov. 27, 2025 (9/7/25) at Ford Field in Detroit, Michigan.
