Because postseason games cannot result in a tie, the overtime regulations differ slightly from regular season games. If the score remains tied at the completion of an extra period, or if the second team's initial possession does not end, the teams will play another overtime period. The winner is determined by the first player to reach 10 points. The last time this happened was 2014 between the San Francisco 49ers and New England Patriots. In that game, neither team scored during regulation time so the two teams went into overtime where Colin Kaepernick threw for 106 yards including a 46-yard touchdown pass to Michael Crabtree to give the 49ers a 21-17 win over their rival Patriots. Crabtree was named MVP of that game after he had nine receptions for 146 yards and a touchdown. It was the first playoff victory for the 49ers since 2002 when they beat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 20-19 in the NFC Championship Game. The previous time this has happened was 2001 when the Oakland Raiders and Denver Broncos played out a 14-14 tie after regulation time. They then took it into overtime where Rich Gannon threw three touchdowns en route to a 42-28 Raiders victory. So if the Super Bowl ends in a tie, there would be no champion until next year's game.
