Cowboys, Packers Play to 40-40 Tie on Sunday Night After McManus’ OT Kick

The finish reignited scrutiny of Green Bay's late-game clock management.

Overview

  • Brandon McManus hit a 34-yard field goal as overtime expired to answer Brandon Aubrey’s 22-yarder after Dallas stalled in the red zone.
  • Dak Prescott went 31-of-40 for 319 yards and three touchdowns, while Jordan Love threw for 337 yards with three scores, all to Romeo Doubs.
  • Micah Parsons was credited with an overtime sack on Prescott near the goal line, a ruling Prescott disputed by saying he had crossed the line of scrimmage.
  • Packers coach Matt LaFleur defended the slow finish, saying, “If I knew it was going to end like that, we would’ve gone faster,” as social media blasted the approach.
  • The result leaves Green Bay at 2-1-1 and Dallas at 1-2-1, and Prescott and Parsons shared a supportive midfield exchange after the final whistle.
