Cowboys vs. Packers was the best
Move over Brioni, there is a new best tie in town.
OK, now that the stupid dad joke is out of the way, let’s talk about Sunday night’s matchup between the Dallas Cowboys and Green Bay Packers — the best tie you will ever see in the NFL.
Billed as Micah Parson’s return to the team that traded him just a month prior, the primetime matchup lived up to its hype, and then some. Parsons played a part in it, he registered a sack and two additional quarterback hits, but the drama that unfolded at Arlington’s AT&T Stadium went beyond the now-Packers edge trying to get revenge.
Just look at some of the final numbers. Including overtime, Green Bay and Dallas gained 489 and 436 yards averaging a respective 6.2 and 6.5 yards per play. There were 10 touchdowns, a successful defensive two-point attempt after a blocked extra point, and, when all was said and done, Scorigami: no game had ever ended 40-40, making this the 1093rd unique final score in NFL history.
Sunday also marked the highest-scoring tie the NFL has ever seen (there was a 43-43 tie between the Raiders and Patriots in 1964, but that was in the old AFL).
