Parsons returns to AT&T Stadium as Packers tie Cowboys 40-40

Micah Parsons returned to AT&T Stadium Sunday night as a member of the Green Bay Packers, but his highly anticipated reunion with the Dallas Cowboys ended not with a dramatic revenge win but with a 40-40 tie after overtime. The game, played in Arlington, featured a back-and-forth scoring duel that included three touchdown passes apiece from Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott and Packers starter Jordan Love and a series of late-game field goals that left neither side victorious.

The closing sequence produced a flurry of decisive moments. Packers kicker Brandon McManus drilled a 53-yard field goal as time expired in regulation to force overtime. In the extra period, Dallas kicker Brandon Aubrey and McManus traded short field goals; McManus’s 34-yarder with the clock at zero preserved the tie. The contest included seven consecutive lead-changing touchdown drives in regulation, an uncommon sequence that underscored how tightly contested the matchup was.

Parsons’s on-field impact was significant even if his stat line appeared modest. Pro Football Focus credited him with 10 of Green Bay’s 15 total pressures, including a sack in overtime that helped force Dallas into a field-goal attempt...
