Sunday night's NFC showdown between the Cowboys and Packers was essentially all for nothing as, after 60 minutes of regulation and 10 minutes of overtime, the contest ended in a 40-40 tie.

Between Romeo Doubs's three-touchdown performance, Micah Parsons's much-anticipated return to Dallas, and a missed pass interference call on Green Bay's final drive, this one from Jerry World was an instant classic—giving fans quite the close to yet another Sunday on football.

I can’t believe the Bad Bunny Bowl ended in a tie. Not sure what to make of the insanity I just witnessed. This Cowboys team is so dumb they should be renamed the Mets.
