There can not be a tie at the end of the regular time period of the game. If there is, the teams play overtime.

If neither team scores in overtime (15 minutes) in regular season, the game ends in a tie. There are no ties in the playoffs.

When did pro football stop tie games?

The NFL has not abandoned the tie game. According to the rules (found at the NFL's web site in their rules digest) a tie game occurs during preseason and regular season games if neither team scores after a 15 minute sudden death quarter.
