Art Rooney II and the Pittsburgh Steelers were one of 29 teams who voted to pass the NFL’s new overtime rules, allowing both teams at least one possession before declaring a winner. But in speaking with Steelers.com’s Teresa Varley, Rooney admitted he was glad to see the regular season rules stay the same.
Rooney told Varley the postseason alteration was a compromise between the owners.
“On the football front, we were able to pass the overtime rule, which we were in favor of something and glad something got done,” Rooney said via the team website in a conversation he had with Missi Matthews.
