The Dallas Cowboys have an odd record.
That's because the Cowboys, unlike most teams in the NFL, have a tie. So when you turn on your TV and see the Cowboys playing, they've got a three-pronged record under their score on the bottom of the screen.
It's certainly unusual, and it had people spending Sunday searching for what the heck that tie was all about.

Who did the Dallas Cowboys tie with?
The Cowboys tied with the Green Bay Packers.
It was Week 4, and the game finished a wild 40-40.
It was on Sunday Night Football, and by NFL rules, when the 10-minute overtime period ended and the scores were even, it went in the books as a tie.
The Cowboys took the lead in that game with 43 seconds to play in regulation on a 28-yard touchdown catch for George Pickens.
The Packers tied it 37-37 on a Brandon McManus field goal at the regulation buzzer.
The Cowboys scored on their first overtime possession, a Brandon Aubrey 22-yard field goal.
The Packers ran the clock all the way the rest of the way down and got a 34-yard McManus field goal at the overtime buzzer to finish in a 40-40 tie game.
It's not ideal, but it's better than a loss, at least.
