    2001 NFL Europe League tie-breakers:

    This year's system includes a new second step that will guarantee a nail-biting finish to the season and may mean that teams have to reach certain targets in yardage in the final games of the season:

    The tie-breaker system is:
    1. Head-to-head (best won-lost-tied percentage in games among the tied clubs)
    2. Best combined offensive and defensive rankings, as listed in the official NFLEL statistics.
    Note:

  • Offensive rankings are based on total net yards gained (passing plus rushing).
  • Defensive rankings are based on fewest net yards allowed (passing plus rushing).
    Example:
    Team A is ranked 1 on offense and 3 on defense (4 ranking points). Team B is ranked 3 on offense and 2 on defense (5 ranking points). Team A wins tie-breaker by virtue of lower ranking points total.
    3. Best points differential in all games
    4. Best net touchdowns
    5. Coin toss

    Teams could go into Week 10, not only needing to win their game but to reach certain targets in terms of yards gained by the offense and yards allowed by the defense.
