Cowboys, Packers battle to NFL’s first tie since 2022

In overtime, the Cowboys and Green Bay Packers were tied with the NFL with 40-40, and Micah Parsons’ highly anticipated return came after the teams traded short field goals with Brandon Aubrey and Brandon McManus.

On Sunday night, Dallas’s Dak Prescott and Green Bay’s Jordan Love, the two stars quarterbacks each had three touchdown passes in regulation, including seven more lead-changing touchdowns before McManus’ tying 53-yard field goal as time ran.

With only a second left, McManus threw a 34-yarder as overtime approached 00:00, just after Love’s pass into the back end zone fell incomplete.

What began as the Cowboys’ (1-2-1) trade for Parsons to the Packers (2-1-1)’s highly anticipated return to one of the game’s elite pass rushers ended up being their second dramatic quarterback duo in Dallas’s home games.

Two weeks prior, when Russell Wilson started for New York, the Cowboys defeated the Giants 40-37 in overtime.

The Raiders’ 43-43 draw with the Boston Patriots in the American Football League (AFL) on Sunday marked Dallas’ second-highest scoring tie since 1969, behind the Raiders’ 43-43 draw in the same year. The Packers were last tied for the 2018 season.
