We’re not sure what’s more expected, a Cleveland team in the World Series, or the instance of ties in back to back weeks in the NFL.

The Cardinals and Seahawks found themselves at 6-6 when the clock struck zero in overtime and the Bengals and Redskins brought a tie to the UK in their game in London.

Regardless, the two do have a connection. The last time the NFL saw two ties in a single season was 1997, the same year the Cleveland Indians lost in seven games to the Florida Marlins.

The Chicago Cubs of course won Sunday night at Wrigley Field, holding off elimination and climbing somewhat back into the series at 3 game to 2 heading back to Cleveland for the final two games.
