'The NFL is changing its sometimes controversial overtime rules to guarantee each side gets the ball in the playoffs.'
PALM BEACH, Fla. — The NFL is changing its sometimes controversial overtime rules to guarantee each side gets the ball in the playoffs.
That second possession of overtime would extend beyond the initial 15-minute period if needed. Should that team tie the game, it then would become sudden death. Since the previous overtime rule was instituted for the regular season in 2012, the team that wins the coin toss has won the game half of the time . However, both teams have had at least one possession in 82% of the games .
The Titans had recommended that both teams possess the ball in overtime unless the team receiving the kickoff scores a touchdown and a 2-point conversion. That would end the game. But the owners, perhaps believing the Tennessee suggestion was too gimmicky, went with the other proposal.
