NEW YORK (AP)—NFL owners will vote next week whether to allow each team a possession in overtime in the playoffs if the team winning the OT coin toss kicks a field goal on the first series. Previously, the game would end whenever either side scores, as happened in the NFC championship game in January, with New Orleans beating Minnesota on Garrett Hartley’s(notes) kick. But NFL competition committee chairman Rich McKay says a trend has developed showing too strong an advantage for teams winning the coin toss to start overtime. If the team that falls behind by three points on the first series also kicks a field goal, then the game would continue under current sudden death rules. The proposal is only for the postseason.
FINALLYYY! I swear i have this argument with my dad every time i see a game go in to overtime. The owners will be stupid not to vote this through. The way overtime is set up now is so stupid. Unless you suck, if you win the coin toss, then you win the game. The last time i checked, this is America, the land of opportunity! No team should get shafted for picking heads when clearly you're supposed to choose tails every time. Give both teams a chance to win it, thats the fairest way. And this rule should be applied to every game, not just the playoffs. So unless all of the NFL owners are legally retarded and/or clinically insane, this new rule will get passed and justice will be brought back to football.
