What Happens When Two Teams Tie in an NFL Game?
In the rare event that a regular-season NFL game ends in a tie, the game goes into overtime to determine a winner. Overtime consists of one 10-minute period, and the teams switch possession after each possession. If the game remains tied after overtime, it will end in a tie.
In the playoffs, ties are not allowed. If a playoff game is tied at the end of regulation, the game goes into overtime, which consists of multiple 10-minute periods. The game will continue in overtime until one team scores, at which point the game is over.
