Well than it would go to when the teams played each other. Lets say the eagles and the giants tie. It would go to the team that won to other both times in the regular season. If there is a tie in that and they both beat each other once, than it goes to division records which is how many times they beat the other teams in there division. That means that if the eagles beat the redskins and cowboys twice, and the giants lost to the redskins once, than the eagles would go to the playoff. And if there is a tie in that than I don't know what happens after that. But it is not too often that some one ties three times in a row.
