Football can end in a tie. It doesn't happen often, but it happens.



I was going to mention that, but I wasn't sure.

Is there only one overtime period in the regular season?



As Joe said, yep. In pro football, games not decided by the end of the overtime period are counted as ties. Very rare even in the NFL.

In college Divsion I-A, games are no longer permitted to end in ties. Overtime is played until a winner's decided, but the overtime's based on series of downs, not on the passage of time.
