What is the overtime rule the NFL adopted for this season?

Micah Parsons' much-anticipated return to Dallas to face his former Cowboys teammates ended with a 40-40 tie and the rare walk-off game-tying field goal.

The Cowboys' Brandon Aubrey and Green Bay's Brandon McManus traded short field goals in overtime Sunday night, and Parsons’ only sack played a role in keeping Dallas out of the end zone in the extra period. It was the second time the Cowboys played into overtime this season with both coming after 37-37 ties in regulation.

The first ended on a field goal by Aubrey in the final second of the 10-minute extra period that gave Dallas a 40-37 win over the New York Giants.
