A tie and a win are the same to us, we gain nothing extra by winning over tying.  Detroit still has the division and higher seeding to play for with a win, and I'm sure a division title would mean a great deal to them.But if there were 2 minutes left in OT I don't see them taking any huge chances that could end up backfiring and getting them knocked out entirely, like trying a 60 yard FG.</blockquote>
