NFL owners could decide on Chiefs’ overtime proposal this week

The NFL’s spring owners’ meeting takes place this week from May 20-22 down in Key Biscayne, Florida, and a decision could be made regarding the Kansas City Chiefs’ proposal to change overtime rules.

Here is the rule initially proposed by the Chiefs:

By Kansas City; to amend Rule 16 to (1) allow both teams the opportunity to possess the ball at least one time in overtime, even if the first team to possess the ball in overtime scores a touchdown; (2) eliminate overtime for preseason; and (3) eliminate overtime coin toss so that winner of initial coin toss to begin game may choose whether to kick or receive, or which goal to defend.
