Cowboys and Packers Play to 40-40 Tie in Micah Parsons’ Dallas Return

The result intensified scrutiny of Green Bay’s defense as Parsons voiced frustration after his Dallas exit.

Overview

  • Dak Prescott and Jordan Love each threw three touchdown passes in regulation, part of a stretch with seven consecutive lead-changing TDs late.
  • Brandon McManus forced overtime with a 53-yard field goal at the buzzer, then matched Brandon Aubrey’s 22-yarder with a 34-yard kick as overtime expired.
  • Parsons recorded a crucial overtime sack on Prescott that helped hold Dallas to a field goal on its opening OT drive.
  • The 40-40 draw is the second-highest-scoring tie in pro football history and Dallas’ first tie since 1969, moving Green Bay to 2-1-1 and Dallas to 1-2-1.
  • Parsons said he was “pissed off” about allowing 40 points and complained he learned of his trade via his agent, while Jerry Jones said Dak Prescott was “indispensable” and Micah “wasn’t”; the game unfolded under the new OT format guaranteeing both teams a possession.
