Cowboys, Packers end classic slugfest in tie

The Dallas Cowboys and Green Bay Packers battled each other in an absolute slugfest on Sunday night, and it ended in a 40-40 tie.

The stakes were already heightened coming into AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, as Micah Parsons was making his return to play his former team. While his impact was felt, it was the offenses that really came to play.

The last two minutes of regulation underscored that.

The Cowboys needed to respond to a Packers touchdown. KaVontae Turpin returned a kickoff to near midfield. It only took four plays for Dak Prescott and the Cowboys to find the end zone. Following a 19-yard pass to Jalen Tolbert, he found George Pickens for a 28-yard touchdown.

Dallas drove 54 yards in 62 seconds to get the go-ahead score.

Green Bay was quick to get back up the field. Packers quarterback Jordan Love led the team down the field in seven plays to set up a game-tying 53-yard field goal for Brandon McManus.

In overtime, the Cowboys got the ball first. Prescott found Tolbert coming back to the ball to make an incredible catch on the sideline. Somehow, Tolbert got both of his feet in bounds to set Dallas up in the red zone. The Cowboys couldn’t get into the end zone. Parsons possibly saved a touchdown with a sack of a scrambling Prescott. It was Brandon Aubrey who hit the chip shot to go up 40-37.

It was Love’s turn to lead the charge. On third down, the Cowboys may have gotten away with a defensive pass interference call. But it didn’t deter Love. The quarterback found Matthew Golden to keep the drive alive.

The Packers nearly ran out of time to make a final throw to the end zone. But he was left with one second on the clock. McManus came onto the field to kick the game-tying field goal.

Love was 31-of-43 with 337 passing yards and three touchdown passes. Each of his touchdown passes went to Romeo Doubs. The wide receiver had six catches for 58 yards.

Josh Jacobs was a menace on the ground. He had two rushing touchdowns to go along with 86 yards on the ground. He had four catches for 71 yards as well.

The Cowboys showed that they weren’t going to roll over and let the Packers walk all over them in their house. 

First, Dallas picked up a crucial two points when they blocked a Packers extra-point attempt in the second quarter. Markquese Bell returned the ball for the two points.

Then, the Cowboys took advantage as the Green Bay offense appeared to get complacent toward the end of the first half. Cowboys linebacker James Houston caused Love to fumble. He recovered it and gave Dallas a chance to score before halftime. Prescott then found Pickens in the end zone. Dallas had a 16-13 lead at halftime.

Pickens had an incredible game for the Cowboys. He had eight catches on 11 targets for 134 yards and two touchdowns.

Prescott was 31-of-40 for 319 yards and three touchdowns. He was only sacked once.

Green Bay moved to 2-1-1 with the tie and Dallas became 1-2-1.

Nicole Kidman plans Hollywood takeover of Nashville with Reese Witherspoon

Nicole Kidman wants to cue the spotlight on her beloved Nashville community.

The "Nine Perfect Strangers" actress told guests at the Nashville Film Festival that she's partnering up with "bestie" Reese Witherspoon to bring a little bit of the entertainment industry out east.

"I’ll be bringing more and more production here," Kidman said during the panel at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum’s CMA Theater, according to People magazine. "Reese Witherspoon lives here too, and she’s one of my best besties."

Kidman, 58, has lived in Nashville since 2008, and admitted she sees a void in opportunities for Tennessee's capital.

"I can’t say that we will be bringing ‘Big Little Lies’ here," she said. "That’s all got to go where it is.

"But in terms of just, you know, there is so much room here for production. The crews are fantastic and the actors, and the people, all of… I feel that it’s taking off and will continue to take off, so off we go."

She added, "Come on, Tennessee, we’ve got this." Kidman admitted her favorite part about Music City was the people.

"I love the Nashville people because they embraced me two decades ago, and they keep making it possible for our family to have the most beautiful life here," she told audiences. "Incredibly grateful."

The "Cold Mountain" actress previously admitted she thought about giving up her career to build a life on the farm.

"When I gave birth to Sunday, I was like, ‘I think I’m pretty much done now,’" Kidman said during the Dec. 15 episode of "CBS Sunday Morning." "I’d moved to Nashville, we were living on a farm, and that’s when my mom actually said, ‘I wouldn’t give up completely. Keep your finger, sort of like, in it.’"

"And I'm like, ‘No, no. I’m done now. I'm done.'"

However, Kidman's mom was insistent with her advice.

"She’s going, ‘Just listen to me. I think keep moving forward. Not saying you have to do it to the level you’ve been doing it, but I wouldn’t give it up completely.’"

The Oscar Award-winning actress can be found contributing to her community by buying diapers for a school donation drive or visiting a local children's hospital.

"I like being a part of something not about my work, not about who I am, none of that," Kidman previously said in an interview with Elle magazine. "Just a citizen who’s in the world. And my kids love that, too, when I do that."

Kidman is a mom to four kids. She shares her two daughters — Sunday Rose and Faith Margaret — with husband Keith Urban. The actress also shares two kids, Bella and Connor, with her ex-husband, Tom Cruise.

Witherspoon, 49, raised her family in both Hollywood and Nashville. She shares son Deacon and daughter Ava with ex Ryan Phillippe. Witherspoon's divorce from Jim Toth was finalized last year. The former couple have one son, Tennessee.

The Hello Sunshine founder became part-owner of Nashville's Major League Soccer team in 2022.
