Go ahead and tell 'em, Micah.

It wasn't exactly how they drew it up, but the Green Bay Packers took home a road win over the Arizona Cardinals in what ended up being a back-and-forth affair. Later on in the fourth quarter, the Packers found themselves down by just three.

And then came a massive decision by head coach Matt LaFleur. It was fourth down with two yards to go from the Arizona 29-yard line. Would LaFleur kick the game-tying field goal and hope his defense holds the Cardinals with a little over two minutes to go and try to get one last possession in?

That wasn't how Micah Parsons saw it happening, as evidenced by his telling of that pivotal moment after the game.

"I got a $200 million quarterback that I trust and that's what he go do," Parsons told the Packers media. "R.G. like, 'Oh, they going for it.' I said, 'Sit back down.'"

Micah Parsons said what every Packers fan thought about Jordan Love after a close Week 7 win

LaFleur would end up going for it on fourth down, and Jordan Love completed a pass to tight end Tucker Kraft, who took it a total of 15 yards. From the Arizona 14-yard line, running back Josh Jacobs would go the distance on his next three carries and put the Packers up for good.

Love delivered in the game's most clutch moment.

Had the Packers failed to convert on fourth down, the Cardinals would have had the chance to run out the clock with just over two minutes remaining. Instead, it was Love to Kraft on what ended up being one of the tight end's 10 targets on the day (which led the team, by the way).

Parsons simply pointed out that he was watching one of the highest-paid quarterbacks in the game today in Love, and that he had the utmost faith in No. 10.

In that moment, Packers fans should have had that very same confidence in the fifth-year passer. Why shouldn't they? Love came into this game completing 70 percent of his passes and on an offense that leads the league in fourth quarter scoring at 11.3 per game.

Of course Love was going to get it done, and of course it was going to be Kraft in that moment. It's the clutch connection Packers fans have grown to know and love, and Parsons is figuring out the truth about those two before his very eyes.

The $200 million -- $220 million, to be exact -- quarterback and his sure-handed, bruiser of a tight end in a clutch moment?

They had it in the bag.
