GREEN BAY — Upon his arrival in Titletown three weeks ago, Micah Parsons issued a warning during one of his early Q&A sessions with reporters. 

“You’ll realize as I’m here,” the Dallas Cowboys-turned-Green Bay Packers superstar edge rusher said, “I’m probably going to say things I probably shouldn’t say off emotion. And that’s just me.”

So far, the Packers new defensive linchpin has contributed 1.5 sacks, eight quarterback pressures, and no he-said-what-now? quotes or bulletin board fodder.

Meanwhile, his longtime friend Rasheed Walker, the Packers starting right tackle, unleashed a doozy midway through the week in advance of Sunday’s game against the Cleveland Browns at Huntington Bank Field in Cleveland.

“I feel like it’s been clicking, like we’ve been playing pretty clean,” Walker told reporters. “As far as the offense, I feel like O-line’s been doing good. [Quarterback] Jordan Love’s been playing phenomenally. I mean, we’ve all just been playing in sync, executing. That’s why we’re 2-0 right now, and then the goal is to keep it going.

“But I think we can go undefeated, honestly.”

Yes, Walker really did say that, and yes, his comment did go quasi-viral as a result.

And while it might’ve been the kind of roll-your-eyes, clickbait-y remark that winds up being turned into something more than it should, had you heard Parsons’ convincing defense of it late in the week, you might see it differently.

Having been in the same recruiting class at Penn State and having played three seasons together with the Nittany Lions, it made sense that Parsons would have his guy’s back. But this was more than that.

“To the people, he probably shouldn’t say it. But personally, I don’t see anything wrong what he said,” Parsons said—and he was just getting warmed up. “They always say you should share your dreams in private because people won’t understand ‘em.

“So to a million fans out there, they’re probably like, ‘Sheed’s full of himself.’ You know how people are. [But] s long as he plays the way he should play and been playing, I don’t care what he says as long as he back it up.

“So Sheed, keep talking if you want. Just be careful what other people are going to say — if you care about it. If you’re like me, I don’t really care about what people say. We should win every game.”

To get to 17-0, the Packers obviously have to get to 3-0 first, and that will mean getting their first road win of the season at the expense of the Browns (0-2). Here are three aspects of the matchup to keep an eye on:

1. JOSH JACOBS, ON A RUN

Although the Packers run game has struggled — Josh Jacobs has just 150 yards on 42 carries (3..6-yard average) after having 151 yards in a Week 2 win over Indianapolis last year on his way to 1,329 yards — against defenses hell-bent on stopping the ground game, Jacobs is on the cusp of a wild NFL record.

Including last year’s playoff loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, Jacobs has scored at least one rushing touchdown in 11 consecutive games. Since 2000, the only player with a longer streak is Pro Football Hall of Famer LaDainian Tomlinson, who had a 12-game streak in 2004.

And not only did Jacobs not know he was in some elite company until it was brought up in a third-down installation session during an offensive meeting, he still wasn’t clear on where he ranked after the meeting and needed reporters to fill him in.

“I actually just found out,” Jacobs said. “I don’t really know too much about it. I really don’t know what I’ve got to do to get the record.”

Well, Josh, you need to rush for one touchdown against the Browns’ top-ranked defense to tie Tomlinson. Since the AFL-NFL merger in 1970, the longest such streak belongs to former Washington running back John Riggins, another Pro Football Hall of Famer who had at least one rushing TD in 15 straight games, beginning with the 1982 playoffs.

And why is Jacobs in such rarified air?

“I just think he has a knack,” running backs coach Ben Sirmans said. “I know you hear people talk about these kinds of things all the time, [but it his] knack for finding the end zone. You combine that with how quick he is, along with his power, that makes it easier for him to get tacklers to bounce off him, finish with great strength. He’s got really good instincts and vision to find the hole.”

2. NOTHING SPECIAL

With wide receiver/preferred punt returner Jayden Reed on injured reserve, two-time first-team All-Pro kick returner Keisean Nixon serving as the team’s No. 1 cornerback and two rookie wide receivers (Matthew Golden, Savion Williams) getting opportunities in those roles, it probably shouldn’t be surprising that the Packers’ special-teams units haven’t exactly tilted the field in their favor through two games.

The coverage units also have been hit-or-miss, giving up a 50-yard kickoff return last week, and even kicker Brandon McManus, who couldn’t miss in training camp, doinked a ball off the uprights against Washington last week.

“I think our biggest challenge right now has been [to] be a better us,” special-teams coordinator Rich Bisaccia said during the week. “We kind of have the balance of, played really well the first week, didn’t play very well last week.

“I think our tackling needs to be cleaned up. I think how we played on the outside on punt [coverage] needs to be cleaned up. And so I think we just have to be better fundamentally, technically, to do the things that we’re supposed to do when we’re supposed to do them the way we’re supposed to do them.”

3. GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY

The game-of-inches cliché is a cliché for a reason, and Golden knows that all too well after he and Love missed connections on a pair of would-be deep-ball touchdowns against the Commanders — one that would have been a 92-yard TD that Love slightly overthrew, and another that would’ve been a 33-yarder that Love slightly underthrew as a diving Golden tried to make a circus diving catch at the goal line.

As a result, Golden enters Sunday’s game with just two receptions for 16 yards, two games into his NFL career.

“I mean, it’s real early. I wouldn’t look too much into that,” offensive coordinator Adam Stenavich said. “We had some [opportunities] we just missed in the last game that could have been some pretty huge plays.

“It’s obviously the start of his young career, and I’m excited about what he brings for our offense and everything like that. [We’re] not too concerned about it.”

Neither is Golden, but with the injury to Reed and with Christian Watson still on the physically unable to perform list, Golden is clearly in line for far more opportunities — and the Packers will be counting on him to deliver.

“Whatever opportunities they give us, we’ve just got to go out there and make the most of it,” Golden said. “We’re 2-0. I feel like that’s all that matters. We want to get that Lombardi Trophy, so whatever it takes to get that, that’s all I’m looking for.

“Whenever my number is called, I know I’m going to be ready and I’m going to have the right mindset to go get it.”
