Can you tie a game in the NFL?

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.

Yes. But only in regular season games. A tie happens after the first overtime has no winner.
