Myles Garrett already has his postgame conversation with Micah Parsons planned. He expects the scoreboard and the stat sheet to do most of the talking.
The Los Angeles Rams pass rusher looked ahead to the Nov. 25 meeting with Green Bay during Thursday's appearance on The Rich Eisen Show. Asked what he would say to Parsons afterward, Garrett pictured a friendly exchange that would end with him claiming bragging rights.
“I'll shake his hand," Garrett said, "and laugh and joke with him.”

Garrett expects Parsons to tease him about his light dimming. His planned response is to point to the score and their individual numbers, arguing that he had a great game while Parsons merely had a good one. There are, in Garrett's words, “still levels to this.”
Eisen brought up their earlier podcast debate over who was the better player. Garrett confirmed calling Parsons “delusional” during that exchange. Their next scheduled meeting is a standalone holiday game with a national audience.

The Thanksgiving Eve game at SoFi Stadium kicks off at 8 p.m. Eastern on Netflix. It will be only the second Wednesday game in Packers history. The first came against the Chicago Cardinals in Buffalo on Sept. 28, 1938.
Garrett's first game back from knee surgery gave him plenty to build on. He had three sacks, three tackles for loss, three quarterback hits and a forced fumble in the Rams' 20-13 win over Washington on Nov. 8.
He played 35 of 58 defensive snaps. His first sack stripped Jayden Daniels and set up a field goal before halftime. Two more came in the fourth quarter, including a 12-yard loss that forced a punt with Los Angeles protecting a seven-point lead.
Garrett generated six pressures on 27 pass-rushing snaps, a 22.2 percent pressure rate. His strip-sack made him the first Rams player with at least three sacks and a forced fumble in a game since Donald against Washington in October 2020.
That was the first three-sack game by a Rams player since Donald did it against Arizona in December 2021. Garrett and Donald are now teammates, and Los Angeles improved to 5-4 with its third straight win.
The immediate concern is getting Garrett through another week. He missed Friday's practice and is questionable for Sunday's game at Arizona with a knee injury. The Packers, who enter Week 10 at 6-3, still have to face Minnesota before their bye and the trip to Los Angeles.
