"He embraced it. He even encouraged it. " Thank you, Jerry! " the crowd at Lambeau Field yelled repeatedly Thursday night after the Green Bay Packers' 27-18 win over the Washington Commanders. The chant was addressed toward someone who was not there - Dallas Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones, who traded the 26-year-old star linebacker to Green Bay one week before the start of the season after a lengthy contract dispute."
"The Packers sent two first-round picks and defensive tackle Kenny Clark to Dallas as part of the deal, but the chanting fans on hand at 1265 Lombardi Ave. for "Thursday Night Football" definitely seemed to be of the opinion that their beloved team had won the trade. "I'm gonna lay out for a minute because this crowd has something to say," Prime Video's Charissa Thompson said as she and her "TNF Nightcap" co-hosts sat with Parsons on the field ahead of a postgame interview."
