The 5-4-1 team has the better record. When figuring winning percentage, a tie is considered a half win and half loss. So, where the winning percentage of a team 5-5 is .500, the winning percentage of a team 5-4-1 is .550.
Tie between Dallas and Pittsburg
49ers, Bengals, and Broncos are in a three way tie.
Generally, most organizations count a tie a one half win and one half loss when computing winning percentage. The National Football League is one of the organizations that does this. So, should a team in the NFL have a record of 5 wins, 4 losses, and 1 tie (5-4-1), their winning percentage would be .550. This is calculated by taking the number of games (10) and dividing into the number of wins (5.5).
That is the 5th tie breaker used by the NFL in breaking ties to determine a division winner and the 4th or 5th tie breaker used in breaking ties to determine a wild card winner (4th if 2 teams are tied and 5th if 3 or more teams are tied). The total wins and losses of the teams the tied teams defeated are added up and whichever tied team defeated teams with the higher combined winning percentage wins the tie breaker.

It will just go down as a tie. Like 8-5-1, the one represent the tie. In the NFL, ties count statistically for half a game won, half a game lost. Therefore, if two teams are in contention for a playoff spot and one finishes 10-6 while another finishes 10-5-1, the 10-5-1 team would win out, because as far as the NFL is concerned, that team won 10 1/2 games.
Yes. During the regular season games can result in a tie.

The NFL has not abandoned the tie game. According to the rules (found at the NFL's web site in their rules digest) a tie game occurs during preseason and regular season games if neither team scores after a 15 minute sudden death quarter. The maximum is one period. With the advent of sudden death, the tie game has nearly vanished from the game but it does happen.
