“The players really played well,” Austin head coach Jens Levisen said. “They moved the ball around well and they challenged the ball. Things that should’ve went well, went well. That’s kind of the nature of our game. You can do things well and still end up with a tie.”

The Packers, who have played their last five games on the road, will host Red Wing 7 p.m. Thursday.
