Best Answer

On Sunday, October 10, 1920, in the first year of the league's existence, and on the third week of play, two games ended in a scoreless tie: the Chicago (Racine) Cardinals and the Chicago Tigers, and the Cleveland Tigers and Dayton Triangles. These games appear to be the first tied games in the NFL (although at that time it was known as the American Professional Football Association; two years later they would change their name to the National Football League).
