they keep playing until somebody wins.

In the playoffs, they have to get a winner.

Yes, the Seahawks had a tie just a couple of years ago, but not in the playoffs. (2016)

so I'd imagine the same would hold true for an NFL game too...not that Donny Dontknowthewords would be caught dead at an NFL game these days!

You've probably already heard about this, but per the story relayed by Donny Jr,'s dormmate, Scott Melker:

I was hanging out in a freshman dorm with some friends, next door to Donald Jr.'s room. I walked out of the room to find Donald Trump at his son's door, there to pick him up for a baseball game. There were quite a few students standing around watching, trying to catch a glimpse of the famed real estate magnate. Don Jr. opened the door, wearing a Yankee jersey. Without saying a word, his father slapped him across the face, knocking him to the floor in front of all of his classmates. He simply said "put on a suit and meet me outside," and closed the door.

There was only one OT that lasted ten minutes.

I don't pay much attention to any other teams though.

A Green Bay defender made an interception with just a couple of minutes left on the clock but the referee made a bad roughing the passer call against Clay Matthews, who had already launched himself in the air as Kirk Cousins was making his pass. That was no penalty, IMO.

The packer receiver in regulation time was down on his knee and touched short of the line to gain on third down, but was allowed to rise and run for the first down leading to a score. Should have been fourth down. Without that non-call, there likely would have been no overtime.

I will agree that the roughing call in OT was very weak. He wasn't late and the tackle wasn't dirty. But it wouldn't have ever happened had they correctly called the fourth down earlier in the game.

11. Single overtime. No such thing as two overtimes in a non-playoff NFL game.

A single 10 minute overtime is played. Both teams get a possession unless the first drive results in a touchdown or a safety.

This is what Goddell football looks like now which is infiltrating the college game. I saw a team win a game because of targeting Saturday night. The team that committed the targeting penalty won the game.
