Cowboys COO Stephen Jones supports Chiefs OT proposal: Has 'some traction'

Patrick Mahomes watched helplessly from the sideline as Tom Brady marched the New England Patriots downfield for a touchdown in overtime of the AFC championship game.

Game over.

New England earned a Super Bowl berth with the score, preventing the Kansas City offense from seeing the field in the extra session because of a rule dictating that a touchdown ends the game in overtime.

Unhappy that their MVP quarterback didn’t have a chance to answer the Patriots score, the Chiefs proposed a rule change that guarantees both teams possession of the ball in overtime.
