Packers' Micah Parsons Fires Off 'Flag Football' Warning to NFL After Roughing the Passer Call in Lions Loss

Micah Parsons used social media to criticize NFL officiating after the Green Bay Packers fell 20-17 to the Detroit Lions on Sunday. The loss dropped Green Bay to 4-3 in a tight NFC North race. Parsons didn’t play because he is still rehabbing a knee injury, but he reacted on X to a late-game call. With the game tied 17-17, officials flagged Packers defensive tackle Karl Brooks for roughing Lions QB Jared Goff following an 18-yard completion to Sam LaPorta. After the penalty, Detroit advanced to the Green Bay 40 and Jake Bates kicked a 22-yard field goal as time expired. Parsons and FOX analyst Tom Brady both questioned whether it was roughing. Reports also note eight roughing penalties by the Packers this season.
