A tie occurs in the NFL when neither team scores in overtime. It is rare, but it does happen occasionally. The last tie was a game between the Steelers and Falcons in 2002. Interestingly, the two teams nearly tied again this season, but the Falcons won on a field goal late in overtime.

They are how many chances you have to go 10 yards... If you dont advance 10 yards by the end of fourth down, the other team gets the ball

Team B wins a Test Match when Team A has completed two innings, and Team B has amassed more runs than them. If the run totals are equal, this is a tie (not a draw as some others have suggested).\nA draw occurs when time runs out, and none of the above situations have occurred. e.g. Team B is still batting but doesn't have more runs than Team A.\nIn One Day International cricket, there is no such thing as a draw. Teams have one innings each with limited overs, and the one with the most runs win. If the scores are level, this is a tie. If the game cannot be completed according to the rules, the match is deemed to be a No Result.

They don't. Owing to a lottery system, the general public doesn;t get much of a shot at tickets anymore.\n\nYou should contact the NFL regarding proper procedures to get an opportunity for tickets

It depends on how the league is set up.  In my Yahoo leagues it is set by record.  The first tie breaker is total season points.  I havent had to go past this point yet but i would imagine that it would be head-to-head record.

If you aren't in complete control of the ball then you haven't caught it yet.  These rules are just the NFL making the game more offense oriented.

The NFL playoffs work in the following fashion. The divisional champions automatically qualify for the playoffs, and each conference has two wildcard teams, that are based on season records, and tiebreakers such as head to head meetings, divisional record, conference record, points differential,  and so on. The first round of the playoffs is called the WildCard Round, because that's when the wildcard teams are playing. The two top teams in each conference are given byes into the next round.  The second week of the playoffs is called the divisional round, because that's when the two top seeds in each conference are playing their first playoff games. The third week of the playoffs\nis the conference championships, where the two teams remaining in each conference battle for the right to represent their conference in the Super Bowl. The Super Bowl is currently\ncontested between the champions of the AFC and the NFC, and\nthe winner will be crowned the Super Bowl champion.

Probably not. The NFL is to tuff of a league for just anybody to win it all. I'm from Minnesota and if you can't win it after going 15-1 in a season. I don't see it coming for a long long time.

Some of this has already been addressed:\n\n1.  Down by contact in the NFL; down if knee touches in college.\n2.  Pass interference is a spot foul in the NFL; in college, it's a spot foul up to 15 yards.\n3.  No 2-minute warning in college football.\n4.  No 5-yard illegal contact rule in college football.\n5.  Receiver must have 2 feet down in the NFL and catches count if the receiver is pushed out of bounds but would have come down in bounds; in college, only have to get one foot down but defender can push receiver out of bounds to make pass incomplete.\n6.  Overtime rules are vastly different.  In pros, play is as in regulation with the first team scoring winning; if no one scores in 15 minutes, the game ends in a tie.  In college, each team is given one possession from the opponent's 25 yard line.  If the score is still tied, it continues until there is a difference.  Beginning with the third OT, teams must go for 2 point conversion after a TD.\n7.  Goal posts are wider in college than in the pros, and the hash marks are not lined up with the goalposts (they are wider).

Nine innings, but if the game is tied the teams go into extra innings. Overtime can go on for several innings until somebody wins. If the visiting team scores in the top of the inning they must prevent the home team from catching back up in the bottom of the inning, but if the home team takes the lead in the bottom of the inning they automatically win. That's one of the reasons that home field is such a big deal for any team.

It is indeed a draw out of the hat!!!  Hard to believe, but if all other tie breakers fail, pick heads or tails!!!!

There is no such thing as a tie. The rule states that the runner has to beat the throw to first, that leaves it as a judgment call by the umpire. The following is taken from a chat with Tim McLellan who is a professional umpire:\n\nI am an umpire for Little League. The coach told me that ties go to the runner. I said the batter has to beat the throw to first because there are no such thing as ties. Who is right?\n-- L.M.F.\n\nMcClelland: That is exactly right. There are no ties and there is no rule that says the tie goes to the runner. But the rule book does say that the runner must beat the ball to first base, and so if he doesn't beat the ball, then he is out. So you have to make the decision. That's why umpires are paid the money they are, to make the decision on if he did or if he didn't. The only thing you can do is go by whether or not he beat the ball. If he did, then he is safe.

If it is a regular season game, OT is 15 mins with first team scoring (TD, FG, or safety) getting the win.  If no team scores at the end of 15 mins game goes into books as a tie, which counts as half a win and half a loss in the standings.  If it is a post season game, teams play until someone scores, whether it be 1, 2 or more OTs.  If fact 4 NFL playoff games have gone into a 2nd OT.  They are :\n\nMiami 27, KC 24 (still the longest game in NFL history, decided 7:40 of the 2nd OT), 12/25/71 AFC div playoffs\n\nOakland 37, @Bal Colts 31 12/24/77 AFC div playoffs\n\n@Cleveland 23, NY Jets 20, 1/3/87 1986 AFC div playoffs\n\nCarolina 29, @St.Louis 23, 1/10/2004, 2003 NFC div playoffs\n\nOne AFL game when to 2OT: Dal Texans 20, Hou Oilers 17 1962 AFL championship.\n\nAnd one pro football playoff game went 3OTs,\n\n1984 USFL semifinal Los Angeles Express beat Michigan Panthers in LA 27-21.\n\nOh, I almost forgot, they do call it Sudden Death in football.

Hopefully these too. The Chargers and the Patriots! Omg! That would be like the Superbowl of the century and probably would be the first teams to go into overtime in the Superbowl! GO LT AND GO BRADY! WOOT WOOT!

TO BREAK A TIE WITHIN A DIVISION\nIf, at the end of the regular season, two or more clubs in the same division finish with identical won-lost-tied percentages, the following steps will be taken until a champion is determined. \n\nTwo Clubs\n1. Head-to-head (best won-lost-tied percentage in games between the clubs).\n2. Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the division.\n3. Best won-lost-tied percentage in common games.\n4. Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the conference.\n5. Strength of victory.\n6. Strength of schedule.\n7. Best combined ranking among conference teams in points scored and points allowed.\n8. Best combined ranking among all teams in points scored and points allowed.\n9. Best net points in common games.\n10. Best net points in all games.\n11. Best net touchdowns in all games. \n\nThree or More Clubs\n(Note: If two clubs remain tied after third or other clubs are eliminated during any step, tie breaker reverts to step 1 of the two-club format).\n1. Head-to-head (best won-lost-tied percentage in games among the clubs).\n2. Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the division.\n3. Best won-lost-tied percentage in common games.\n4.

Best net points in common games.\n10. Best net points in all games.\n11. Best net touchdowns in all games. \n\nTO BREAK A TIE FOR THE WILD-CARD TEAM\nIf it is necessary to break ties to determine the two Wild-Card clubs from each conference, the following steps will be taken.\n1. If the tied clubs are from the same division, apply division tie breaker.\n2. If the tied clubs are from different divisions, apply the following steps. \n\nTwo Clubs\n1. Head-to-head, if applicable.\n2. Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the conference.\n3. Best won-lost-tied percentage in common games, minimum of four.\n4. Strength of victory.\n5.

Apply division tie breaker to eliminate all but the highest ranked club in each division prior to proceeding to step 2. The original seeding within a division upon application of the division tie breaker remains the same for all subsequent applications of the procedure that are necessary to identify the two Wild-Card participants.\n2. Head-to-head sweep. (Applicable only if one club has defeated each of the others or if one club has lost to each of the others.)\n3. Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the conference.\n4. Best won-lost-tied percentage in common games, minimum of four.\n5. Strength of victory.\n6. Strength of schedule.\n7.

When you absolutely cannot give up a run.  Simple as that.  Such a situation would be like a one run lead with one out and a man on third.  You don't want that runner to score or else it's a tie game.  On the other hand, if you were up by two, you might give up that run to get the out.
