The NFL’s much-discussed overtime rules will be modified, at least for the playoffs. Starting with the 2022 tournament, games going to extra time will see both teams get an opportunity to possess the ball at least once.
An appropriate rule change was proposed by the Indianapolis Colts and Philadelphia Eagles earlier this month, and has garnered enough support at the league meeting in Palm Beach, FL. For a rule to be changed at least 24 of the 32 teams need to vote in favor of it, something that has happened, according to multiple reports.
