For the first time in their careers, QB Dak Prescott and OLB Micah Parsons faced off against one another. It ended up being nothing but respect, especially with the game ending in a tie, but Prescott couldn’t believe one thing coming out of their matchup on Sunday Night Football.

After the 40-40 tie in overtime between the Green Bay Packers and Dallas Cowboys, Prescott spoke with NBC’s Melissa Stark about the game, including his thoughts on facing his former teammate in Parsons. He said it was great competition against him and his new team, with it even better as he thought Parsons didn’t get to him tonight.

“It was fun. As I told you, it was great competition, friendly competition. No words were even spoken,” said Prescott. “I don’t think he got me. I don’t think he sacked me. Got me for one from behind right there in overtime.”

However, Stark would tell Prescott there that the play he was referring to actually went down as a sack in the box score for Parsons. Prescott initially disagreed in disbelief, but quickly conceded the stat to his past teammates.

“No way,” Prescott said in reacting to what was called a sack in the end.

“That’s alright. That’s alright,” said Prescott. “There he is right there. That’s alright. He can have it. He can have it.”

The much-anticipated matchup in Week 4 between the Packers and Cowboys didn’t end in a way that was as exciting as the game. No one led by more than eleven throughout, with it remaining a one-score or three-point game either way from the second quarter on, but, after the ten-minute overtime, Green Bay and Dallas left the game with a tie on their records at 40-40.
