Micah Parsons seeks Packers' punishment of Bengals, statement win in Week 6

Green Bay Packers defensive end Micah Parsons said he's ready to take out his frustration over a Week 4 tie with the Dallas Cowboys on the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 6 at Lambeau Field, and he hopes his teammates feel the same way.

"You should be pissed off, like sitting around pissed off," Parsons told reporters. "We just gave up 40 points, and we're talking about we can't give up 20 and how we shouldn't lose games. That's how you lose games. We should be pissed off. We should be ready to come out here and play Sunday regardless of who's playing and whip some butt. If we're really dogs. That's how I look at it. If we really say who we want to be, we should take that (game), how we finished last and we should punish these guys. And we should want to leave a statement. It should be a statement win. It should be a statement on defense. Like I just think it's a statement. Like these guys should be pissed off because I was pissed off."

The Packers are coming off a bye week. In Week 3, Green Bay lost to a Cleveland Browns team with Joe Flacco as its starting quarterback.

If Flacco leads the Bengals to a win in Green Bay, he'd become the first NFL quarterback to beat a team twice in the same season with different teams since 1962, when Jack Kemp led the Chargers and the Bills to wins over the New York Titans.

In September, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported that the Packers pursued a trade for 2024 NFL sacks leader and Bengals defensive end Trey Hendrickson before acquiring Parsons from the Dallas Cowboys for two first-round picks and defensive lineman Kenny Clark.
