How to Read NFL Scores

Every result on this page uses the same conventions as an NFL scoreboard, so a quick look tells you who won, how, and what it did to the standings.

Final means the game is over

A score only appears once the game is marked Final. Until then the matchup stays in the upcoming list with its kickoff time and TV listing.

Away team is listed first

NFL scores are written "away at home", for example Bills at Texans. The away team appears on the top line of every score card, matching the league's own scoreboard order.

Final/OT means overtime

The game was tied at the end of regulation and went to an extra period. The score shown is the overtime result, not the fourth-quarter score.

Records update after the game

The record beside each team is its record after that result, so a winner's record and a loser's record always reflect the game you are looking at.

Open a game for the box score

Each card links to the matchup page with the scoring summary, team stats, venue and available highlights — the same detail a box score gives you in a newspaper.

Score only, not live play-by-play

This archive synchronizes a few times a day. It is built for completed results, so use the league or your broadcaster for drive-by-drive updates during a game.

Ties and extra time

NFL Overtime and Tie Games Explained

Two results confuse fans more than any others: a game marked Final/OT and a game that ends even. Here is how each one works.

When overtime happens

If the score is tied when the fourth quarter ends, the game goes to a 10-minute overtime period. Regular-season games need only a first score to end, unless that score is a field goal.

Both teams get a possession

A field goal on the opening drive no longer wins the game outright. The other team gets a chance to answer, and a touchdown on that drive wins it immediately.

A touchdown always ends it

Any touchdown in overtime is sudden death, on the first drive or later. A safety also ends the game, because it puts points on the board for the defense.

How ties are recorded

If nobody scores in the 10 minutes, the game is recorded as a tie. It counts as half a win for each team in the standings, which is why you see records like 8-8-1.

Ties are rare

Because overtime has 10 minutes to find a winner, ties happen only a few times a decade. When one does happen it shows as a level score with both records showing the extra tie.

Playoff overtime is different

Postseason overtime has no tie: the two teams keep playing extra periods until someone scores. Playoff results appear here once the postseason begins.

Quick answers

NFL Scores FAQ

What were the NFL scores this week?

NFL scores for Week 3 are organized by date on this page, with the winner, the final score and a box-score link for every completed game. 16 games are complete.

Where can I see NFL scores for today?

Use the NFL games today page during the day. This archive fills in as soon as a game is marked Final, so the same result appears here once the slate ends.

How do I find NFL scores from yesterday?

Open the same week from the week selector. Results are grouped by date, with the most recent date first, so yesterday's games are the first cards on the page.

Does this page show live NFL scores?

No. It lists final scores from synchronized schedule data. During a game, use an official live source for play-by-play updates, then return here once the game is marked Final.

What does Final/OT mean in a score?

The game ended in overtime. The final score shown is the overtime result, and the extra period was needed because the teams were tied after four quarters.

Can an NFL game end in a tie?

Yes. If neither team scores in the 10-minute overtime period, the game is recorded as a tie. Each team gets half a win in the standings, which is why records such as 8-8-1 exist.

Can I see scores for any NFL week?

Yes. The week selector covers Week 1 through Week 18 of the 2026 regular season, plus the separate preseason scores page. Weeks that have results are marked in the list.

How often do NFL scores update here?

The schedule and results synchronize several times a day. The last update time is shown at the bottom of the page, so you always know how fresh the scores are.

Are preseason and playoff scores included?

Preseason results have their own page in the same archive. Playoff scores appear in the archive when the postseason begins and matchups are set.

What do the records beside each team mean?

They are the team's win-loss record after that game, so the numbers always match the result on the card. A third number, like 8-8-1, is the tie count.
