Because of the physicality of the sport, if a game is still level at the end of the extra period, then it goes down as a tie game - which happens, on average, once every two seasons.
Washington had the best chance to secure victory after kicker Dustin Hopkins split the uprights with a 34-yard field goal as a little over two minutes remained in extra time, but a Cincinnati time-out just before the snap meant Hopkins had to re-take the kick. On his second try, his kick sailed wide left and the game eventually finished level, with 27 points apiece.
It was the second tie game of the season - something that hasn't happened in the NFL in almost two decades.
