Sport websites love to show all the possible scenarios a football team can have going into the playoffs but nobody really cares about the TIE situations. Ties sometimes happen during the season but rarely at the end of a season. So let’s not root for a tie since that is just absurd. Here are the 2014 NFL Playoffs Scenarios with the TIE situations eliminated, thanks for CBS Sports for doing most of the work.
