That accomplished multiple things, with all these notes coming from StatMuse.
The first is this: Parsons has never had more in any of those categories on Thanksgiving Day.
He obviously has been an experienced Thanksgiving player after previously being with Dallas for four years.
Never before had he had 8 tackles, or 3 TFLs, or 2.5 sacks on this day.

Parsons has had a sack in each Thanksgiving game he has played in his career.
Give Parsons a turkey at the end of the game and count on him to bring down the quarterback.
It was pricy for the Packers to trade for Parsons and then to extend him.
He's living up to the cost and has given Green Bay fans plenty to be thankful for.
