Seahawks 6, Cardinals 6, NFL 0: An overtime tie made in ratings hell

In case you didn't stay up late enough to see nothing happen between the Seahawks and Chiefs on Sunday Night Football, the final score was 6-6.

Sorry, make that 6-6-6. Sure it was a devil of a defensive-dominated game that baseball could call a fall classic. But for the NFL, it's absolute hell, at the very worst time.

The last thing the league needed with its prime-time ratings in decline was Seattle and Arizona playing 75 minutes with neither a touchdown nor a winner. Yes, it was like kissing your sister, if her name was Medusa.

Two potentially high-powered offenses turned to stone, with Russell Wilson and Carson Palmer involved in the wrong kind of pitcher's duel.
