Yes
The time ran out in over time their is no double overtime in the nfl ,,, if no one scores in over time then the game is a tie
This question depends on the level of play. In the NFL, double overtime can only occur in the playoffs, as games which go scoreless through one overtime in the regular season end in a tie. In college, the second overtime rules are identical to the first, with each team getting a chance to score from the 25-yard line. However, the order in which the teams has the ball is reversed from the first overtime.
yes there can be a triple overtime but it never happened yet maybe quad overtime
In college football, yes. If the score is tied at the end of an overtime period, the game continues. Overtime rules in college football are set up so that there cannot be a tie game ... overtime periods will be played until one team is ahead at the end of an OT period. In the NFL, not in the regular season. If no team scores in the overtime period, the game ends and is declared a tie. Obviously, in the playoffs there can be a double overtime as those games must have a winner.

No. The NFL only allows one overtime period during the regular season - or whomever scores first. Whichever comes first ends the game. If no one has scored at the end of the first overtime period, it is recorded as a tie and the game is over. This is not true during the playoffs, however. During the playoffs the game continues until someone scores.
no never ever has it gone into overtime except in video games
