Packers hang on for tie against Cowboys

The Green Bay Packers enter their bye week with more questions than answers after two underwhelming performances in a row, including Sunday night's 40-40 tie to the Dallas Cowboys. 

 

After two touchdown passes between Jordan Love and Romeo Doubs made it 13-2 early, the Cowboys closed the half with two touchdowns of their own to take a 16-13 lead into the break. The two teams traded touchdowns the rest of the game before Brandon McManus' field goal as regulation time expired forced the extra period. The two teams could only muster field goals in the extra frame to earn the tie.

 

The Packers' rushing game piled up yards, with 164 yards on the ground, including 86 yards and two touchdowns from Josh Jacobs. Jordan Love matched Dak Prescott behind center, throwing for 337 yards and three touchdowns. Micah Parsons was quiet during his Dallas homecoming, though his sack in overtime proved to be crucial. It kept the Cowboys out of the endzone and allowed the Packers easier circumstances to force the tie.

 

The Packers will have the week off before returning to Lambeau Field for the first time in a month when they host the Cincinnati Bengals for a 3:25 p.m. kickoff.
