Ties stink, but we still have plenty to discuss. Let's take a closer look at the three biggest takeaways from the Cowboys' tie with the Packers.

1. Pickens Is A Star

Wide receiver George Pickens played like a star in his first game without CeeDee Lamb by his side. Pickens finished with eight receptions with 134 receiving yards, while grabbing two touchdown receptions. The Cowboys receiver proved to be a great addition.

2. Special Teams Domination

The Cowboys' special teams played an excellent game on Sunday night. Without the blocked kick in the first half, the team would have never been in a position for a tie.
