The Green Bay Packers and Dallas Cowboys played out one of the wildest games of the 2025 NFL season, ending in a 40–40 tie at AT&T Stadium. In a contest filled with momentum swings, highlight plays and dramatic finishes, neither side could walk away with a win.
Micah Parsons’ Highly Anticipated Return
Former Cowboys star Micah Parsons returned to Dallas wearing a Packers uniform and made his mark late in overtime. His crucial sack on Dak Prescott forced the Cowboys to settle for a field goal, keeping the Packers alive. The moment summed up the dramatic storyline of the night.
Quarterback Duel: Prescott vs Love

Prescott tallied 319 passing yards and added a rushing score, while Love passed for 337 yards and repeatedly connected with Romeo Doubs for big plays. Both QBs kept their teams in contention until the final whistle.
Overtime Drama and Missed Opportunities
Brandon Aubrey’s 22-yard field goal gave Dallas the lead in OT, but Love’s composure on fourth down set up Brandon McManus to tie the game with a 34-yarder. As the clock expired, the score remained deadlocked at 40–40. It marked the second-highest scoring tie in pro football history, behind only the 43–43 finish between the Raiders and Patriots in 1964.

What This Tie Means Moving Forward
