It goes down as a tie not a win or loss. 6-6-1. In the statistics, it counts as half a game won, half a game lost. So if one team finished the season at 10-6 and another at 10-5-1, the 10-5-1 team would win a tiebreaker, because that team would be considered to have won 10 1/2 games.

# The sudden death system of determining the winner shall prevail when score is tied at the end of the regulation playing time of all NFL games. The team scoring first during overtime play shall be the winner and the game automatically ends upon any score (by safety, field goal, or touchdown) or when a score is awarded by Referee for a palpably unfair act. # At the end of regulation time the Referee will immediately toss coin at center of field in accordance with rules pertaining to the usual pregame toss. The captain of the visiting team will call the toss prior to the coin being flipped. # Following a three-minute intermission after the end of the regulation game, play will be continued in 15-minute periods or until there is a score*. There is a two-minute intermission between subsequent periods. The teams change goals at the start of each period. Each team has three time outs per half and all general timing provisions apply as during a regular game. Disqualified players are not allowed to return.

*Exception: In preseason and regular season games there shall be a maximum of 15 minutes of sudden death with two time outs instead of three. General provisions that apply for the fourth quarter will prevail. Try not attempted if touchdown scored. If there is no score in the 15 minutes, the game shall end in a tie.

When teams finish with the game with the same score, for example 7-7 or 21-21, the game goes into a sudden death overtime period. If neither team scores in the overtime period, the game ends in a tie.

If a regular season NFL game ends in a tie after four quarters, a maximum of one overtime period will be played. The first team that scores in the overtime period is declared the winner. If neither team scores in the overtime period, the game is declared a tie.

there can not be a tie in a play-off or championship game. They simply go back to the coin toss and start over.

I know this. Is it still sudden death or do they play a complete quarter.

Overtime is always sudden death in the NFL. The only difference in the postseason is that successive quarters are played until someone scores.
