- List_of_NFL_tied_games abstract "In the National Football League (NFL), a tied game occurs when a regular season game ends with both teams having an equal score. If a game is tied after regulation (60 minutes, divided into four quarters of 15 minutes), a 15-minute sudden-death overtime period is held. Under current overtime rules adopted in 2012, "teams... have the opportunity to possess the ball at least once in the extra period unless the team that receives the [first] overtime kickoff scores a touchdown on its first possession". The game can also automatically end on a safety. If the team that received the first opening kickoff instead scores a field goal, the other team has an opportunity to tie or surpass that score. Prior to the rule change, any score by either team in overtime would end the game. Ties have counted as a half-win and half-loss in league standings since 1972; before that, ties were not counted in the standings at all.Tie games were once frequent in the NFL, but have become uncommon due to a rule change in 1974 that extended the existing sudden-death overtime for post-season games into the regular season. Only seven ties have occurred since the 1989 season, a statistic that has been attributed to the increasing accuracy of kickers. Unlike in association football (soccer), where teams routinely play for ties due to the benefit of a point in the standings, NFL teams never play for ties; the sudden-death overtime system does not provide for an easy way to finish in a tie. Instead, ties are almost always the result of mishaps or mistakes from the teams involved. Tied games are considered to be the least desired outcome a football game can produce, in part due to an American cultural aversion to ties. Due to the rarity of tied games, some players (such as former Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb) that have participated in one have recounted that they did not think a tie was a possible result for an NFL game. A tie has been recorded in both seasons since the introduction of the new overtime rules in 2012. These rule changes were originally implemented in 2010 to only playoff games in response to statistics that showed that since 1994, teams that won the coin toss won overtime 59.8 percent of the time, and won 34.4 percent of the time on the first possession on a field goal; they were later extended to all regular season games.From 1920 to 1973, the NFL had a total of 258 tied games. Only three seasons (1934, 1950, 1952) went without a tied game, while five seasons (1920, 1923, 1926, 1929, 1932) had at least ten ties. The most ties, 17, occurred in the 1920 season. Since 1974, there have only been 19 tied games, the most recent occurring in the 2013 season when the Green Bay Packers and Minnesota Vikings played to a 26–26 draw. The highest-scoring tie game since the rule change was the first one, a 1974 game where the Pittsburgh Steelers and Denver Broncos tied 35–35. The Carolina Panthers, Houston Texans, Jacksonville Jaguars, and Seattle Seahawks are the only current NFL teams that have never recorded a tied game; the New England Patriots have never recorded a tie in an NFL game, but recorded nine ties as members of the American Football League (AFL). The Chicago Bears have played to 42 ties, the most of any NFL team, while the Green Bay Packers have recorded the most ties since the 1974 introduction of overtime with five.".
