Micah Parsons’s return to Dallas as a Green Bay Packer takes center stage in NFL Week 4’s biggest Sunday showdown

The NFL’s Week 4 slate in 2025 features plenty of intrigue, including the league’s first regular season game in Dublin, Ireland, and a matchup of the unbeaten Philadelphia Eagles and Tampa Bay Buccaneers. But the most anticipated contest of all is the Green Bay Packers against the Dallas Cowboys at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

Packers vs Cowboys: Parsons’ return

This game carries multiple storylines – Dallas’s struggles to beat Green Bay among them – but none bigger than the return of Micah Parsons to face the Cowboys. Jerry Jones, the owner of “America’s Team,” refused to make the linebacker the highest-paid defensive player in the NFL, trading him to Green Bay just days before the season began.

Emotions are already running high on both sides. Parsons has said he would not be upset if the Cowboys skip any sort of tribute. Jones, meanwhile, downplayed the Penn State graduate’s impact, claiming he was not truly a great player because he never led Dallas to a Super Bowl.

Ultimately, everything will be settled on the field on Sunday night. Both franchises are desperate for a win – the Packers after an embarrassing loss to the Cleveland Browns, and the Cowboys because a 0–3 start would be disastrous for their playoff hopes.
