Until yesterday, I had honestly forgotten that the NFL is one of the few sports out there that actually allow a game to end in a tie! Sounds like the Giants and former skins forgot as well....
Didn't watch the game - just found the results interesting.

Didn't they tie each other or am I not paying attention?

Yup - tied each other 20-20. Didn't realize that there was no tie-breaker after one OT. I think they might be the only league that still just says "Okay, it's a draw - move along!"
And FWIW, during the regular season, I have zero problem with that. Set a specific time (in this case 1 OT quarter) and call it a day if the tie isn't broken.

I believe there was a guy in Philadelphia - I believe his name was McNabb? - that didn’t think NFL games could end in a tie.

There were a bunch of folks who didn't realize regular season games could end in ties. It's only happened a handful of times.

Football always had ties in the regular season or at least since I can remember. They changed it from sudden death to a gauranteed possession just a few years ago. Baseball and basketball have no ties.
