As of recent seasons, approximately 2-3% of NFL games go into overtime. This rate can vary slightly from year to year, but generally, only a small fraction of games require extra time to determine a winner. Overtime rules were established to ensure a fair resolution while minimizing the chances of games going beyond regulation time.
