NFL games are competitive and unpredictable. During the 2021 season, 34 games were decided by a game-winning score on the final play — the most in the league’s history. Inevitably, with so many games so close, some will end with a tie score at the end of regulation. The 2021 season featured 21 games that required overtime, not including two in the postseason. Since the NFL added an overtime period in 1974 to resolve regular season games that end regulation time with a tie score, 629 games (1974–2021) have been decided in overtime. As with many NFL rules, the rules governing overtime have evolved over time.

The league installed a modified sudden-death overtime system to help determine a winner in a tie game for the 2010 postseason. Two seasons later, the league expanded those rules to cover all NFL games. The current rules give both teams the opportunity to possess the ball at least once in overtime. Although, during the regular season, if the team that gets the ball first scores a touchdown on the opening possession, they win. In 2017, NFL clubs approved shortening overtime in the regular season to 10 minutes from 15. The rule change was aimed at improving player safety. In 2022, NFL clubs approved a rule that allows both teams to possess the ball in overtime in the postseason.

OVERTIME RULES FOR NFL REGULAR SEASON

At the end of regulation, the referee will toss a coin to determine which team will possess the ball first in overtime. The visiting team captain will call the toss. No more than one 10-minute period will follow a three-minute intermission. Each team must possess, or have the opportunity to possess, the ball. The exception: if the team that gets the ball first scores a touchdown on the opening possession. Sudden death play — where the game ends on any score (safety, field goal or touchdown) — continues until a winner is determined.

Each team gets two timeouts.

The point after try is not attempted if the game ends on a touchdown. If the score is still tied at the end of the overtime period, the result of the game will be recorded as a tie. There are no instant replay coach’s challenges; all reviews will be initiated by the replay official.

Unlike regular season games, postseason games cannot end in a tie, so the overtime rules change slightly for the playoffs.

Has any team ever scored 1 point in football?

It is one of the oddities of American football that a team can score 2, 3, 4, 5 or even 222 points in a game, but never 1.

nytimes.com - N.F.L. Team Scoring Just 1 Point? Now It's Possible

Now the Lower 48 may finally be catching up.

Among the tweaks to the N.F.L. rules this season were several to extra points. The one that got the most attention is that the kicks will be attempted from the 15-yard line to make them a little more difficult. Less noticed was a change to the safety rules on extra points and 2-point conversions. A safety is now possible for either team and will be worth 1 point. Rule 11-3-2-c states, “If the try results in what would ordinarily be a safety against either team, one point is awarded to the opponent.” In the past in the N.F.L., if an extra point was blocked, the ball was declared dead if a defender got hold of it. Under the new rules, he can try to return it, possibly all the way for a touchdown, which would be worth 2 points. Perhaps a defensive player recovers the ball in the field of play, and while returning it he retreats into the end zone and is pulled down there. That will be a 1-point safety for the kicking team. This has happened, though rarely, in the college game, notably in the 2013 Fiesta Bowl, when an Oregon extra point was blocked and a Kansas State player was tackled with the ball in the end zone. Oregon was awarded a point.
