I’m going to start this off by saying that strictly on principle, I love NFL games when they end in a tie. When the Cleveland Browns came one play away from having two of them last year (and actually came fairly close to having four), I was rooting hard for the statistical anomaly that would have the double benefit of throwing the division standings out of whack.
Strictly on principle, I don’t mind the idea of a Detroit Lions game being a draw either. But wow, for the first Lions tie of my lifetime, this sure isn’t how I wanted to get it.
