3PM: NFL Helps Packers With Micah Parsons Timing

Ben Brust and Alex Strouf continued breaking down leaked pieces of the Packers schedule and argued the NFL may have quietly helped Green Bay by front-loading manageable opponents while Micah Parsons recovers. The guys reacted to reports of the Packers opening with road games against Minnesota and the Jets before a Thursday night home matchup against the Falcons and another trip to Tampa Bay. Jason Wilde joined the show to discuss the Christmas Day Bears-Packers matchup, why the NFL clearly values Micah Parsons as a marquee attraction, and how fans seem surprisingly excited about football invading the holiday. Ben also unloaded on the nonstop Caleb Williams praise after another national analyst crowned the Bears quarterback “P1” in the NFC North over Jordan Love. Plus, the Brewers’ bullpen frustrations boiled over after Jacob Misiorowski dazzled again without getting proper support late in games.
