Dak Prescott Makes 'Weird' Admission About Cowboys-Packers

Speaking to reporters after the overtime finish, Prescott admitted the result felt unsettling.

“You don’t play the game for ties,” Prescott said, per ESPN’s NFL Nation reporter Lindsey Thiry. “It’s a weird feeling.”

The rare outcome left both fan bases unsatisfied, especially after an explosive matchup that produced over 900 yards of combined offense at AT&T Stadium.

Micah Parsons’ Return Adds Drama

The matchup also marked the emotional return of Micah Parsons to Dallas. The star pass rusher, traded to the Packers in the offseason, made his presence felt with three tackles, a sack, and several pressures against his former quarterback.

In overtime, Parsons even prevented Prescott from scoring on a scramble, forcing Dallas to settle for a field goal instead of a potential game-winning touchdown.

After the game, Parsons and Prescott shared a heartfelt moment at midfield. 

“I’ll always believe in you, boy. I’ll see you soon,” Parsons told his former teammate. Prescott replied, “A hundred percent. Love you, brother.”

For fans, the high-scoring duel didn’t erase frustration about the NFL’s rules on ties. Even Prescott’s demeanor reflected the awkwardness of the outcome. 

Cameras caught him chuckling on his way to the locker room, seemingly amused and baffled by the ending. While his stat line looked strong: 31 completions on 40 attempts with four total touchdowns, the quarterback made clear he wasn’t satisfied.

“It’s strange,” Prescott reiterated. “We’re competitors. You fight too hard for it to end like that.”

With the result, the Packers move to 2-1-1 while the Cowboys sit at 1-2-1. Dallas will regroup quickly as they prepare to face the New York Jets in Week 5. Meanwhile, the Packers head into their bye week before returning to action against the Cincinnati Bengals on October 12.

The tie may not change the standings drastically, but for Prescott and the Cowboys, the game served as both a showcase of resilience and a reminder of unfinished business.
