The history between the Green Bay Packers and Dallas Cowboys runs deep, starting with one of the NFL's most iconic games, coined the Ice Bowl. From Hall of Fame coaches (Vince Lombardi, Tom Landry, Jimmy Johnson) to Hall of Fame players (Bart Starr, Jerry Kramer, Paul Hornung, Forrest Gregg, Reggie White, Brett Favre, Charles Woodson, Bob Lilly, Mel Renfro, Bob Hayes, Troy Aikman, Michael Irvin, Emmitt Smith) -- and likely future Hall of Famers (Aaron Rodgers, Zack Martin, Jason Witten) -- their biggest meetings are loaded with star power. Who knows where their "Sunday Night Football" matchup will rank, but it certainly could add another chapter to one of the NFL's most storied rivalries.
Parsons' homecoming ends in historic tie Micah Parsons' return to Dallas delivered plenty of drama but no winner as the Green Bay Packers and Dallas Cowboys played to a 40-40 overtime tie in Week 4 of the 2025 season on "Sunday Night Football." The teams combined for touchdowns on six straight second-half possessions, with Dak Prescott's 28-yard strike to George Pickens putting Dallas ahead with 43 seconds left in regulation. Jordan Love and the Packers answered by setting up Brandon Mc Manus' 53-yard field goal to force overtime. After Brandon Aubrey's 22-yard kick gave Dallas the lead, Love kept Green Bay alive with a fourth-and-6 completion to Matthew Golden. Mc Manus then drilled a 34-yarder with one second remaining to seal the NFL's highest-scoring tie since regular-season overtime began in 1974, according to ESPN Research.
Playoffs again: Cowboys crumble in wild-card upset When the two teams met in the wild-card round of the 2023 playoffs, the Cowboys were 12-5, unbeaten at home and heavy favorites. Meanwhile, the Packers snuck into the playoffs at 9-8 with Jordan Love in his first year as the starting quarterback. None of that mattered. Dak Prescott threw two interceptions, including a pick-six that helped build a 27-0 Green Bay lead, earning Love his first playoff win. Welcome back, Mike: Mc Carthy's return to Lambeau In Mike Mc Carthy's first two seasons as the Cowboys coach, Dallas didn't face Green Bay. So, the 2022 meeting was his first trip back to Lambeau Field since the Packers fired him in 2018. The Cowboys led 28-14 entering the fourth quarter but lost 31-28 in overtime.
