Packers, Cowboys Play 80-Point Shootout to Rare 40-40 Tie

Overtime rules faced fresh scrutiny after Brandon McManus matched Dallas with a kick at the horn.

Overview

  • Jordan Love went 31-of-43 for 337 yards and three touchdowns, while Dak Prescott finished 31-of-40 for 319 yards and three touchdowns.
  • Micah Parsons, in his first game back in Dallas since the trade, chased down Prescott for an overtime sack that helped hold the Cowboys to a field goal.
  • Brandon McManus drilled a 53-yard field goal to reach overtime and a 34-yarder with one second left in OT to preserve the draw.
  • Key momentum swings included a blocked Packers extra point returned for two by Markquese Bell and a late first-half strip-sack of Love by James Houston that set up a Dallas score.
  • The result moves Green Bay to 2-1-1 and Dallas to 1-2-1, stands as the NFL’s second-highest-scoring tie, and led Matt LaFleur to fault the Packers’ late-clock operation.
