Parsons’ Dallas Return Ends in 40-40 Tie, NFL’s First Since 2022

An overtime sack by Parsons set up matching field goals after three-touchdown nights from both quarterbacks.

Overview

  • The Cowboys kicked a short field goal after Micah Parsons chased down Dak Prescott at the 4-yard line in overtime, and the Packers answered with a Brandon McManus 34-yarder as time expired in OT.
  • Dak Prescott threw for 319 yards and three touchdowns with a rushing score, while Jordan Love passed for 337 yards and three touchdowns, including a hat trick to Romeo Doubs.
  • George Pickens stepped in for the injured CeeDee Lamb with 8 receptions for 134 yards and two touchdowns, and Josh Jacobs added two rushing scores for Green Bay.
  • The draw was the second-highest scoring tie in pro football history; Green Bay moved to 2-1-1 and Dallas to 1-2-1, marking the Cowboys’ first tie since 1969.
  • Postgame, Parsons called the Packers allowing 40 points unacceptable, and Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said the result supported trading Parsons by labeling Prescott indispensable.
