In a night headlined by ‘revenge’ storylines, the Packers and Cowboys led a hilariously anti-climactic showdown on Sunday Night Football, which culminated in a 40-40 finish.
Sunday night marked Green Bay star Micah Parsons' face-off against the team that traded him away with Dallas.

Green Bay let go of an early 13-0 lead to the surging Cowboys and Dak Prescott, who found ways to get the offense humming even without their star offensive weapon.
The Packers stay at 2-1-1, and the Cowboys go to 1-2-1.
Green Bay sent the game into overtime with a field goal, tying the game at 37-37 to push for overtime.
Despite the 70 minutes of action at AT&T Stadium, the game didn't amount to much, though Parsons did record a sack against Dak Prescott.

Without injured WR1 CeeDee Lamb, Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott made the most out of newcomer George Pickens — 8 receptions for 134 yards and two touchdowns — and did a good job of avoiding pressure from Green Bay's formidable pass rush.
Packers QB Jordan Love continued to impress: throwing for 337 yards and three touchdowns.
According to ESPN, Sunday's 40-40 stalemate marked the highest-scoring tie since 1974.
Still, NFL fans weren't thrilled by the outcome and challenged the notion of ties in the NFL.
