Has there ever been a tied Super Bowl?
However, the Patriots scored 25 unanswered points to tie the game in the final seconds of regulation. In overtime, New England received the kickoff after winning the coin toss and drove down the field to score a touchdown to claim the Super Bowl title.
Can a playoff game end in a tie? No. While regular season games can end with an even score after a 10-minute overtime period, ties can not happen in the playoffs. Postseason overtime periods are 15 minutes.
Unlike regular season games, postseason games cannot end in a tie, so the overtime rules change slightly for the playoffs. If the score is still tied at the end of an overtime period — or if the second team's initial possession has not ended — the teams will play another overtime period.
The Cleveland Browns scored a game-tying touchdown with 32 seconds left in regulation, then earned the 23-17 win over Brady's Tampa Bay Buccaneers in overtime.
Best won-lost-tied percentage in conference games. Strength of victory in all games. Strength of schedule in all games. Best combined ranking among conference teams in points scored and points allowed in all games.
It is impossible. Ties only occur in regular season games if the score is tied after one overtime period. In the postseason, the game will continue until someone wins.
While regular season games can end with an even score after a 10-minute overtime period, ties can not happen in the playoffs. Postseason overtime periods are 15 minutes. If the score is still tied after 15 minutes, the two teams start another 15-minute period until the result is decided.
Simple: They cannot say “the Super Bowl” unless they pay for that privilege, because it is a registered NFL trademark and has been since 1969. The league also owns the term “Super Sunday,” all the team names, logos, and uniform designs, and the Super Bowl shield graphic.
Since overtime was introduced in 1974, there have been 29 tied games. Five seasons (1986, 1997, 2016, 2018, and 2022) have two ties since the introduction of overtime. The most recent tie game occurred on December 4, 2022, when the New York Giants and Washington Commanders played to a 20–20 draw.
-You can win the game by nine points (field goal and interception), six points (touchdown), or five points (field goal and safety).
Who is the greatest quarterback ever?
1. Dan Marino: 1984. Marino's 5,084 yards that season was 282 more yards than the second-highest total in league history at that time. His 48 touchdown throws that year was 16 more than the next-highest total in league annals.
There have been 73 games in pro football history that ended in a 0-0 tie, according to Pro Football Reference. But it's been nearly 80 years since the last one, meaning there's yet to be a scoreless tie in the Super Bowl era.

That's right, Brady has lost three straight games just one time in his career. It was actually a four-game losing streak that occurred between Weeks 4 and 8 in 2002, when Brady was with the New England Patriots.
What if the Super Bowl is tied after the first overtime period? During the regular season, the game would be called as a tie at that point. Since that can't happen during the postseason, additional 10-minute overtime periods take place until someone scores. An intermission of two minutes takes place between periods.
If the match ends in a tie after 90 minutes, 30 minutes of extra time will be given for both teams to score a goal. Each team will get 15 minutes. After 30 minutes, the team with the highest number of goals will win.
How do Super Bowl squares work? The drawing is meant to assign squares at random to give everyone a fair shot, because not all football scores have the same probability of happening. With the number of squares involved, a payout – especially for the final score – can mean a windfall from a relatively small wager.
The winning team receives permanent possession of the Vince Lombardi Trophy, a sterling silver trophy created by Tiffany & Company, which is presented annually to the winner of the Super Bowl.
