Has any NFL team ever had two ties in a season?
For NFL fans, seeing a tie in a game may not be all that exciting, but it does happen from time to time. This season, there have been two games that have ended with a tie score. In Week One, the Houston Texans and the Indianapolis Colts ended the game with a 20 - 20 score. The Washington Commanders and New York Giants were also tied back in Week 13 with a 20 - 20 score.
In 1974, when overtime entered the league, no team finished a season with two ties in a season. The two ties this season are the most since the 2018 - 2019 season, which also saw two ties. In total, there have been 29 games that have ended in a tie since 1974.
Justin Herbert and the Chargers are slight favorites over Derrick Henry and the Titans:
Prior to overtime entering the NFL, games ending in a tie were commonplace. In fact, the Chicago Bears hold the all-time record for games ending in a tie with 42. All of these games came before the institution of the overtime rule. In fact, the Bears are one of only nine teams to not have a game end in a tie since the overtime rule.
The others are the Buffalo Bills, Dallas Cowboys, Jacksonville Jaguars, Las Vegas Raiders, Los Angeles Chargers, New England Patriots, New Orleans Saints, and Tennessee Titans. Of all these teams, the Jaguars have never had a game end in a tie in their team's history.
Which NFL teams has had the most ties since 1974?
The Green Bay Packers have had six games to end in a tie since 1974, the last game being in the 2018 - 2019 season. After the Packers, the Philadelphia Eagles have five games that have ended in a tie. The last one was in the 2020 - 2021 season in Week Three.
In Week 15 of this season, we could see another tie between the New York Giants and Washington Commanders as they face off once again. If so, each would have four all-time games ending in a tie. We'll see if history can be made this season with both teams having two ties in an NFL season.
