Through the 2008 season, that has happened twice in the NFL regular season.
1) November 5, 1989 - the Minnesota Vikings defeated the Los Angeles Rams in OT, 23-21, when the Vikes blocked a punt out of the end zone for a safety.
2) November 14, 2004 - the Chicago Bears defeated the Tennessee Titans in OT, 19-17, when the Titans QB fumbled in the end zone and the Titans player that recovered was tackled before running out of the end zone.
