In response to the Buffalo Bills’ loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in the Divisional Round of last year’s playoffs, the NFL has finally adopted a change to their overtime rules during the playoffs. Now both teams will get the ball on offense.
The Indianapolis Colts and Philadelphia Eagles proposed the rule change and it was approved by teams at the NFL Owners Meetings on Tuesday. If both teams are tied after a possession for each team, it moves to sudden death and the next score wins.
