Another week of NFL games are in the books and teams are now at the quarter mark of the regular season.

The highlight this week was Dak Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys ending their game against Elgton Jenkins and the Green Bay Packers in a 40-40 tie.

ICYMI: Bulldogs’ toughest opponent on No. 1 hardest schedule might be themselves

Prescott was great in the game, but the Cowboys' defense couldn't stop Jenkins and the Packers' offense. That only puts a spotlight on the Micah Parsons.

But at least in the trade for Parsons, Jerry Jones got his wish of a defensive player that could help stop the run. Green Bay had 35 carries for only 164 yards in Sunday's game. So, of course, the trade is a success for the Cowboys.

Here's how the former Bulldogs fared in their Week 4 games:
