Eagles 13, Bengals 13. It couldn't have ended any other way.

McNabb fumbled and threw three interceptions in regulation Sunday, and the Bengals botched the only scoring chance in overtime, leaving the equally inept teams with the NFL's first tied game in six years.

Cincinnati's Shayne Graham missed a 47-yard field goal with 7 seconds left in overtime, falling to the ground as the ball sailed a few inches wide to the right. It was a fitting finish to a game played like the very definition of a tie. Despite all the shanked punts and trick plays, this one went nowhere.

"Terrible," Bengals quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick said.

No one was more surprised than McNabb that it ended so soon - 3 hours, 46 minutes after the opening kickoff. The 10th-year quarterback thought it would keep going until someone scored, just like a playoff game.

Wrong.

"I didn't know that," said McNabb, who played a leading role in keeping it tied. "I've never been part of a tie. I never even knew it was in the rule book. I was looking forward to getting the opportunity to get out there and try to drive to win the game. But unfortunately with the rules, we settled with a tie."

It was the first tied game in the NFL since Nov. 10, 2002, when the Falcons and Steelers finished 34-34 with Michael Vick and Tommy Maddox matching each other pass for pass. In this one, the teams matched each other gaffe for gaffe.

The Eagles (5-4-1) have yet to win a close game this season, going 0-4 with a tie in games decided by less than a touchdown. McNabb had a big hand in this one, matching his career high with three interceptions and setting up 10 of Cincinnati's points.

He nearly had another pass picked off in overtime, but Johnathan Joseph dropped a potential interception near midfield. Each team had three chances in the extra 15-minute quarter, but only the Bengals (1-8-1) got close enough to try a field goal.

They missed it, leaving them with only their second tied game in franchise history. They played Houston to a 31-31 tie in 1969, their second season.

"We didn't win. We didn't lose, either," said Graham, who had been 6-for-6 from 40-49 yards. "But sometimes, tying stings a little more."

Philadelphia hadn't finished with a tie since a 10-10 game against Baltimore in 1997. The Eagles' defense had eight sacks and compensated for McNabb's fumble by pulling off a goal-line stand from the 1 in the first half. The game soon settled in that pattern - a blitzing defense trying to erase the offense's mishaps.

It ended in a draw.

McNabb, who had only five interceptions coming in, went 28-of-58 for 339 yards. He repeatedly missed open receivers in an offense that has come to rely on him almost entirely because it can't run.

Monday's game

Cleveland at Buffalo

* Why you should tune in: Cleveland's Brady Quinn made a solid debut as a starting NFL quarterback in Week 10.

* Why you shouldn't tune in: The Bills have struggled after a 4-0 start; the Browns have struggled all season.

* The line: Bills by 5 1/2

* The pick: Bills. Level of certainty: 6. Buffalo needs to snap out of its funk soon, and Cleveland is the perfect team to do that against.

Sunday's winners

Packers: Green Bay pulled back into a tie for first place in the NFC North after thrashing the Bears 37-3. With six games remaining, the Packers' experience might give them an edge over Chicago and Minnesota in the division.

Giants: New York went up against the best rushing defense in the league and ran wild, amassing more than 200 yards on the ground for the third straight game. Forget Carolina and Arizona - the Giants are the team to beat in the NFC.

Steelers: Pittsburgh defeated San Diego 11-10 without really playing that well. The Steelers couldn't manage a touchdown and committed too many penalties. But the victory puts them a game up in the AFC North.

And losers

Eagles: At least Philadelphia didn't lose, right? No matter, the Eagles and Donovan McNabb still struggled against the lowly Bengals, and the tie still drops them in the NFC East and the NFC wild-card race.

VIKINGS: Minnesota ran just eight plays in the fourth quarter, and none to Adrian Peterson. Yes, the Vikes may still be tied for first place in the NFC North, but their remaining schedule is tough, and if they can't win close games, they won't make the playoffs.

JAGUARS: Jacksonville needed a victory to stay near playoff contention. It was a tall order against an undefeated Tennessee team, but the Jags rumbled out to a 14-3 lead. But they couldn't hang on and now find themselves at 4-6.

Key injuries

* Orlando Pace, T, Rams, knee ligament

* Richie Incognito, G, Rams, strained rotator cuff

* Ron Bartell, CB, Rams, torn meniscus

* Antonio Chatman, WR, Bengals, neck

* Aaron Ross, CB, Giants, calf

* Luis Castillo, DE, Chargers, groin

Beyond the box score

* Pittsburgh rallied to beat San Diego 11-10, the first such final in NFL history, spanning 12,837 games. The Chargers fell to 0-13 at Pittsburgh in the regular season.

* Peyton Manning passed Fran Tarkenton for seventh on the NFL's career completions list in Indianapolis' 33-27 win over Houston. Tarkenton had 3,686 completions, while Manning now has 3,702.

* Baltimore's Matt Stover set an NFL record by kicking his 372nd consecutive point after touchdown in the Ravens' 30-10 loss to the New York Giants.

* Indianapolis' Marvin Harrison passed Jim Brown for ninth on the NFL touchdowns list with 127.

* Arizona is 7-3 for the first time since 1977, when the Cardinals were in St. Louis. Arizona can clinch its first division title since 1975 next week.
