Potential changes to the NFL’s overtime format are set to be discussed and voted on this week during the NFL’s Annual League Meeting in Florida and on the surface, Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin, a competition committee member, won’t be in favor of making any changes to the current rules.
During the annual coaches’ media availability on Monday at the league’s annual meetings in Florida, Tomlin expressed his personal opinion on potential overtime rule changes this offseason.
“I’m a sudden death advocate. I’m a traditionalist,” he said, via NFL Network’s Judy Battista.
Tomlin went on to say that he believes 60 minutes of regulation time in games is plenty of time for both teams to win the contest.
