Same thing that happens if it's tied 77-77. Sudden-Death Overtime. One 15-minute period. First team to score wins. If neither team scores, it's a tie. But, in the playoffs, I think they just keep playing if neither team scores, with additional 15-minute overtime periods. Because you can't have a tie in the playoffs.

When was the first overtime game in the NFL?
The year was 1974. The first regular season OT game was September 22, 1974 between Pittsburgh and Denver. Ironically, the game ended in a 35-35 tie. That's correct. However, the first overtime game in the NFL occurred during the 1958 NFL Championship Game between the Colts and Giants. The teams were tied at the end of regulation, and since a winner had to be declared, a sudden-death period was added. The Colts won, 23-17, on a 1-yard touchdown run by Alan Ameche. But as the first answer correctly states, overtime didn't become a part of the regular season until 1974.

The term is not exclusive to the NFL, but refers to a specific method of resolving a sporting event that ends with a tie.

The team that loses suffers a "sudden death". There can also be sudden death hockey or soccer games. This is different from baseball, where both teams have an opportunity to bat in their half of the inning before a winner is declared.
