Packers, Cowboys Finish 40-40 in OT as Parsons’ Return Features Pivotal Sack

A Micah Parsons overtime sack under the league’s possession-based overtime left both teams with a rare draw.

Overview

  • The Week 4 Sunday Night Football matchup ended 40-40 after both teams kicked field goals in overtime under the NFL’s new rules; the result moved Green Bay to 2-1-1 and Dallas to 1-2-1.
  • In his first game back in Dallas since the trade, Packers edge rusher Micah Parsons was credited with a crucial red-zone sack of Dak Prescott in overtime, a ruling Prescott disputed after the game.
  • Packers kicker Brandon McManus hit a 53-yard field goal at the end of regulation and a 34-yarder as overtime expired to match Cowboys kicker Brandon Aubrey’s 22-yard OT kick.
  • Jordan Love went 31-of-43 for 337 yards with three touchdowns to Romeo Doubs, while Dak Prescott finished 31-of-40 for 319 yards and three scores as George Pickens posted 134 yards and two touchdowns.
  • Packers coach Matt LaFleur criticized the late-game operation as “way too slow,” as fans blasted the anticlimactic finish to what became the NFL’s second-highest-scoring tie and the first home 40-plus, zero-turnover non-win in 300 tries.
