Which NFL team has the most consecutive playoff games?
The Indianapolis Colts hold the record for the last decade, 9 appearances in the last 10 years. 2000, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009. They did not make the playoffs in 2001. If they make the playoffs in 2010, they will still have 9 appearances in the last 10 years, and will tie the record of the most consecutive playoff appearances in the NFL.
Which Major league baseball team has gone the longest without being in the Playoffs?
If I had to take a guess I'd have to say Cleveland Browns.Well, believe it or not, the Browns made the playoffs in 2002-2003. The answer is actually a tie, as the Buffalo Bills and the Detroit Lions have not made the playoffs since the 1999-2000 season. The Houston Texans have never made the playoffs, but they only began play in 2002.
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.
What happens if a NFL game is tied 0-0 at the end of regulation?
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.
What happens if every team in the NFL goes 8-8 during the same season?
It would depend on which games they won, how much they won by, etc., etc. The NFL has an elaborate tie-break procedure for these sort of incidents. Every team plays 6 divisional games, 6 conference (not-division), and 4 non-conference games. Within a division, the first tie-break is divisional record. So, if one team went 6-0 in the division, but 2-8 in all the other games, they would be the division winner. There are actually 12 levels of tie-breakers, though historically it's never had to get past the fifth level (Strength of Victory) for any playoff berth. Ultimately, if all 256 games finished in a 3-3 tie, the playoffs would be determined by coin flip
