How does a tie happen in the NFL?
The NFL determines a tie if the score of a game is the same at the end of regulation. This can happen if each team scores the same number of points, or if both teams fail to score. If a tie occurs, each team is awarded half a win and half a loss. The NFL also has a system of tiebreakers in place to determine which team wins in the event of a tie. These tiebreakers take into consideration the head-to-head record of the two teams, their division records, and their records against common opponents. In the event that the tie cannot be broken, the teams will be declared co-winners.
