Step 1: Assemble Your Tie-Tastic Team
Not just any group of guys will get the job done. Here's your dream crew for a tie-worthy performance:
- The Erratic Quarterback: This gunslinger throws for a touchdown one minute and forgets how to hold the ball the next. Think Brett Favre with extra helping of "hold my beer and watch this."
- The Fumble Fingers Running Back: This butterfinger specialist coughs up the ball at the most inopportune moments, especially near the goal line.
- The Brick-Handed Wide Receiver: He can outrun anyone, but catching the ball? That's a whole different story. Think of a human highlight reel of dropped passes.
- The Aggressive (But Not THAT Aggressive) Defense: They pressure the opposing quarterback, but always seem to miss the sack by a hair's breadth. Think of a fly constantly buzzing around a window, never quite getting in.
Remember: Chemistry is key! Years of near-misses and collective sighs will truly solidify your team's tie-winning potential.
Step 2: Master the Art of the Stalemate
Offense and defense? Who needs 'em? This is all about creating a beautiful, frustrating stalemate. Here's how:
QuickTip: Go back if you lost the thread.
- The Fourth-Down Frenzy: Fourth and inches? Go for it! Fourth and forever? Why not? Just make sure you barely convert (or barely don't) to keep the score nice and tight.
- The Field Goal Fetish: Touchdowns are so last season. Turn those red zone trips into a field goal festival! Three points here, three points there, and before you know it, you've got a tie brewing.
- The Clock-Chewing Cavalcade: Need a first down with two minutes left? Run a ten-play screen pass drill that takes an eternity. Remember, time is your friend (or enemy, depending on which side of the tie you're hoping for).
Step 3: Embrace the Inevitable Coin Toss
After all that, it all comes down to a coin. Heads? Tails? Who knows! Just make sure you lose the toss in overtime and watch as the other team gets the first crack at winning it.
Pro Tip: Practice your disappointed sigh beforehand. It'll really sell the whole "tie" experience.
Congratulations! You've Tied an NFL Game!

Tip: Revisit challenging parts.
