Overview

  • Dak Prescott went 31-of-40 for 319 yards with three passing touchdowns and a rushing score, while Jordan Love threw for 337 yards and three touchdowns.
  • Regulation featured seven straight lead-changing touchdown plays before Brandon McManus forced overtime with a 53-yard field goal and later tied it with a 34-yarder as time expired in OT after Brandon Aubrey’s 22-yarder put Dallas ahead.
  • Micah Parsons logged three QB hits and an overtime sack that helped stall Dallas at the goal line, then said he was “pissed off” about Green Bay allowing 40 points.
  • Cowboys owner Jerry Jones defended trading Parsons during a contract standoff, saying, “Dak was indispensable, in my mind… and Micah wasn’t.”
  • The result left Green Bay at 2-1-1 and Dallas at 1-2-1 in one of the highest-scoring ties on record, with the Packers entering a bye week and the Cowboys visiting the Jets next.
