The NFL’s overtime rules have been the source of no shortage of controversy over the years. Big games have ended without one team touching the ball repeatedly—remember, both teams get a shot unless one scores a touchdown—including a certain Super Bowl I really don’t want to talk about. It’s evident that many teams, fans and players think the current way things work isn’t great.
Three teams have put forth proposals to change the way overtime works, and those proposals will be reviewed in upcoming league meetings. The Colts and Eagles are simply suggesting that both teams get an opportunity to have the ball in overtime, while the Titans are going further and saying both teams should get the ball unless the first team to possess it scores both a touchdown and a two-point conversion.
