The last time a team played with ties in the NFL was in the 2002 season. Since then, the NFL has implemented a new rule which states that if the game is tied at the end of regulation, each team will get one possession from the ten-yard line. If the score is still tied after each team has had one possession, the game ends in a tie.

1972 season.

The last tie in the NFL occurred on November 19, 1972, when the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Cleveland Browns played to a 14-14 draw. This was the only tie in a full 16-game season since the NFL adopted the 16-game schedule in 1967.

The reason for this was because of the new overtime rules that were put into place in 1974.

In the National Football League (NFL), a tie occurs when a regular season game ends with both teams having an equal score after one ten-minute overtime period. Ties have counted as a half-win and half-loss in league standings since 1972; before that, ties were not counted in the standings.

Since the 1974 NFL season, NFL teams have played 4,162 games, resulting in 39 ties. The most recent tie was between the Seattle Seahawks and Arizona Cardinals on October 23, 2016, which ended in a 6–6 score.

The reason for this was because of the new overtime rules that were put into place in 1974. Prior to this season, if a game was tied at the end of regulation, it would result in a tie. Now, if a game is tied at the end of regulation, each team is given one possession to try and score. If both teams fail to score on their respective possessions, or if both teams score touchdowns on their first possessions, then the game ends in a tie.

These new rules stated that each team must have the opportunity to possess the ball at least once in overtime, if the score is still tied after each team has had one possession, then the game ends in a tie.

The last tie in the NFL occurred on November 16, 2008, between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Cincinnati Bengals. The game ended in a 13-13 tie after both teams failed to score in overtime.

These new rules stated that each team must have the opportunity to possess the ball at least once in overtime, if the score is still tied after each team has had one possession, then the game ends in a tie.

Before this rule change, there were several other instances of games ending in ties, including a 2016 contest between the Seattle Seahawks and Arizona Cardinals that finished 6-6.

Since the new overtime rules were put into place, there have been no ties in the NFL.

Since the new overtime rules were put into place in 2012, there have been no ties in the NFL. In the past, ties were a relatively common occurrence in the NFL, with an average of roughly 3 per season from 1974-2011. However, the new overtime rules – which state that each team must possess or have the opportunity to possess the ball at least once in overtime, unless the team that wins the coin toss scores a touchdown on its opening drive – has resulted in a significant decrease in ties. In the 8 seasons since the new rules were enacted, there have been a total of zero ties.
