Wow, they had a lot of ties back in the old days, huh?
It had something to do with overtime and sudden death rule changes.
As a consequence of the 1974 rule changes, the number of tie games dropped dramatically. 22 NFL games have ended in a tie since then, and just 9 since 1990. The most recent was on 30 October 2016 when the Washington Redskins and Cincinnati Bengals fought to a 27-all tie in London.
