The NFL’s overtime rules, which allow the team that receives the first kickoff of the period to win the game if they score a touchdown, have come under immense scrutiny over the past day following the Bills epic 42-36 overtime loss to the Chiefs on Sunday.
Star quarterbacks Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes went back-and-forth in an incredible game where they each looked like the best signal-caller in the NFL. However, since Kansas City won the toss and Mahomes led a touchdown drive, Allen never got an opportunity to answer in overtime. Many fans and pundits wish the rules had allowed Allen a chance to respond.
