Incompetent kickers conspire to produce first NFL draw in two years

it is the lowest scoring tied game since the introduction of overtime.

MISSED FIELD GOALS led to a rare 6-6 tie between the Seattle Seahawks and Arizona Cardinals.

Seattle’s Steven Hauschka was wide right on a 27-yard attempt with seven seconds remaining in overtime after the Cardinals’ Chandler Cantanzaro hit the left upright on a 24-yard effort.

Both had made field goals earlier in overtime.

The messy end produced the first tie in the NFL since Carolina and Cincinnati tied 37-37 in 2014.

The Pittsburgh Steelers, with quarterback Ben Roethlisberger sidelined in the wake of arthroscopic left knee surgery, were no match for Tom Brady and the New England Patriots, who led throughout in a 27-16 triumph in Pittsburgh.

LeGarrette Blount ran for two touchdowns against his former team and Brady threw for two touchdowns — including a 36-yard TD pass to Rob Gronkowski in the third quarter — to lift New England.

    A draw? Why that’s as un-American as a socialised system of universal healthcare!

    You can take it as done that it’s the first thing The Donald will address once he sweeps to power. No more of those Commie draws. Right after he’s sued all those awful women he abused.

    Time for the Patriots to start worrying about Gostkowski. Belichik won’t accept these misses for much longer.
