The Packers have an ex-Bear to thank for salvaging a tie with the Cowboys

The Green Bay Packers and Dallas Cowboys have engaged in some epic encounters over the years, and Sunday night ranks right up there with the best of them, as the longtime rivals battled back and forth for 70 minutes en route to a 40-40 tie.

With the 80 combined points, the contest stands as the second-highest-scoring tie in professional football history, trailing only the 43-43 draw between the then-Oakland Raiders and the then-Boston Patriots at Fenway Park during the 1964 AFL campaign.

While the Packers can't be pleased with a tie, especially after taking an embarrassing loss to the Cleveland Browns in Week 3, they should actually feel fortunate that they didn't leave AT&T Stadium having taken a second straight defeat, given how badly Green Bay handled the final offensive play of the game.
