Micah Parsons expressed his frustration with officiating decisions in the Green Bay Packers' 20-17 loss to the Detroit Lions on October 25 at Ford Field. The Packers were penalized for two roughing-the-passer calls during the game, a point of contention for Parsons, who has yet to play this season due to injury. He suggested that the frequent penalties are diminishing the integrity of the game. Legendary quarterback Tom Brady also criticized one of the roughing penalties during the broadcast. The Packers, who have now lost three of their last four games, will host the Carolina Panthers next on October 28.
