Packers kicker Brandon McManus nailed a 34-yard field goal as the time expired in overtime, resulting in a 40-40 tie in Micah Parsons’ return to Dallas on Sept. 28.

McManus’ game-tying field goal matched Cowboys’ kicker Brandon Aubrey’s field goal, giving the Packers its seventh tie game since 1974, when overtime was introduced to the NFL, and the first since it tied the Minnesota Vikings 29-29 in 2018.

How is a team supposed to react after battling for 60 or more minutes of grueling football, only for the game to end in a tie with no winner and no loser?

The Packers should know that answer better than any other team: Since 1974, when the NFL implemented its overtime rules, no franchise has tied more games than Green Bay.
