Brandon Aubrey and Brandon McManus traded short field goals in overtime as the Dallas Cowboys and Green Bay Packers played to a 40-40 tie Sunday night, marking the NFL’s second-highest scoring tie in history. The highly anticipated return of Cowboys pass rusher Micah Parsons ended in a dramatic showdown, a month after Dallas traded him to Green Bay.
Quarterbacks Dak Prescott and Jordan Love each threw three touchdown passes in regulation, including seven consecutive lead-changing scores. McManus’ 53-yard field goal as time expired forced overtime, where both kickers traded short field goals. McManus’ 34-yarder sealed the tie after Love’s last-second pass fell incomplete in the end zone.
The game mirrored Dallas’ recent high-scoring overtime clash against the Giants, which they won 40-37. This tie was the first for the Cowboys since 1969, while Green Bay last tied in 2018.
The Cowboys opened overtime with a first down at the Green Bay 5, aided by Prescott’s 34-yard escape and completion to Jalen Tolbert. Dallas settled for Aubrey’s 22-yard field goal after Parsons caught Prescott from behind for his first sack of the game. On the ensuing drive, Love converted fourth-and-6 to Matthew Golden, reaching the Dallas 12 before the drive stalled.
Romeo Doubs caught all three of Love’s touchdown passes, totaling 58 yards on six catches, while Josh Jacobs rushed for two scores and 157 total yards. Prescott threw for 319 yards and added a rushing touchdown, with George Pickens recording eight catches for 134 yards and two scores despite CeeDee Lamb’s absence due to a high ankle sprain.
Early in the game, the Packers led 13-0 after Love’s second TD, but a blocked PAT returned for a two-point conversion by Dallas’ Markquese Bell created a three-point swing that proved decisive. Javonte Williams’ 1-yard wildcat plunge and Prescott’s late touchdown tosses set up a thrilling back-and-forth finish, capped by McManus’ game-tying kick in overtime, leaving both teams deadlocked at 40.
