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.
