Both quarterbacks were exceptional. Jordan Love passed for 337 yards and three touchdowns for Green Bay, overcoming a first-half fumble. Dak Prescott countered with 319 yards and three touchdowns for Dallas, consistently finding receivers despite the absence of CeeDee Lamb due to injury. George Pickens, stepping up in Lamb’s place, delivered a breakout performance with 134 yards and two touchdowns on eight catches.
The Packers started strong, with Romeo Doubs hauling in two first-half touchdown passes from Love. However, Dallas responded late in the second quarter, capitalizing on a Love fumble forced by James Houston. Prescott ran in a touchdown, then found Pickens for another score, giving the Cowboys a 16-13 halftime lead despite being outgained in yards and time of possession.
After halftime, the offensive fireworks continued. Josh Jacobs rushed for two second-half touchdowns for Green Bay, while Dallas answered with a Jake Ferguson touchdown catch and a direct-snap score from Javonte Williams. In the closing moments of regulation, both teams traded touchdowns—Doubs caught his third TD for Green Bay, and Pickens responded with a 28-yard touchdown from Prescott. With four seconds left, Packers kicker Brandon McManus nailed a 53-yard field goal to force overtime.
In overtime, Dallas took the lead with a Brandon Aubrey 22-yard field goal, but Green Bay answered with a 34-yarder from McManus as time expired, sealing the 40-40 tie. Parsons, largely contained throughout, made a crucial tackle on Prescott in overtime to prevent a game-winning Dallas touchdown.
Statistically, Green Bay outgained Dallas 489 to 436 in total yards and controlled the clock, but Dallas played turnover-free football. The Packers remain unbeaten against the Cowboys since 2016, with a 10-1-1 record in the last 12 meetings. The tie moves Green Bay to 2-1-1 and Dallas to 1-2-1 on the season.
This result stands as the second-highest scoring tie in NFL history and continues a trend of high drama between these teams. For more details, visit the ESPN game summary or see NFL.com’s recap for highlights and full box scores.
