Cowboys, Packers Finish 40-40 in Micah Parsons' Dallas Return

Postgame comments renewed scrutiny of the trade that sent him to Green Bay.

Overview

  • Brandon Aubrey and Brandon McManus traded short field goals in overtime after Parsons tackled Dak Prescott at the 4-yard line to halt a potential touchdown.
  • Dak Prescott went 31-of-40 for 319 yards with three touchdown passes and a rushing score, while Jordan Love threw for 337 yards and three touchdowns to Romeo Doubs as regulation featured seven lead changes.
  • The 40-40 result was the NFL’s second-highest scoring tie and the Cowboys’ first tie since 1969, leaving Green Bay at 2-1-1 and Dallas at 1-2-1.
  • Parsons said he was "pissed off" about allowing 40 points and noted he learned of the Dallas trade through his agent, highlighting lingering frustration over how it was handled.
  • Cowboys owner Jerry Jones defended dealing Parsons by saying "Dak was indispensable… and Micah wasn’t," with the Packers heading into a bye and the Cowboys set to play at the Jets.
