Actually; having a tie game [ during the regular season] often helps teams make the playoffs

In 2002; The Steelers and Falcons tied 34-34

both teams made the playoffs that year

As did the 10-5-1 NY Giants in 1997

and the 9-6-1 Cleveland Browns in 1989

However; The 1974 Steelers are the only team [ since the NFL went to OT] to play a tie game the same season they won the Super Bowl

The 1976 Vikings and 1987 Broncos each had a tie; but both lost in the Super Bowl

Thanks the the Cowboys loss today, the Lions get a better draft pick. Which receiver will they take?
