According to a website called "Scorigami," the Packer-Viking 29-29 tie was the first time an NFL game has ever ended with that score.
This is important stuff to know!

Interesting concept and terminology. I have to note that this Scorigami never would have happened without Tony Corrente's very liberal interpretation of "roughing the passer".

Of course, it happened in college football 50 years ago.
"Harvard beats Yale, 29-29" was the headline and then it became a movie title.

The Packers have the most ties of any team since OT began in 1974, with six.
Three of those ties have been against the Vikings. Since 1974, no other combination of opponents has more than one tie.
The last time the Packers and Vikings tied was in 2013. That score, 26-26, was also a unique NFL score.

The 49ers amd Rams very nearly tied each other twice in 2012. They did tie 24-24 in the first matchup. In the second, the Rams won it with 0:26 left in OT on a Greg Zeuerlein field goal 16-13.
