List Of NFL Tied Games
The following is a list of National Football League tied games since 1974. Prior to that season, the league's rules only allowed for sudden death overtime in playoff games. As a result, tied games were a common occurrence in the regular season, occurring if neither team had more points than their opponent after regulation time. Since the 1974 major rule change, ties in the NFL have been rare; there have been only 18 tie games since 1974, and just five after 1989.
Tied games are counted as a half-game won and a half-game lost in the standings.

Yet, when we think about it, our common sense tells us that our most inspired, creative acts are deeply tied to our need to love and that, when we lack love, we find it difficult to work creatively; that work without love is dead, mechanical, sheer competence without vitality, that love without work grows boring, monotonous, lacks depth and passion.”
—Marta Zahaykevich, Ucranian born-U.S. psychitrist. “Critical Perspectives on Adult Women’s Development,” (1980)
“The rules of drinking games are taken more serious than the rules of war.”
