The NFL has a new (but familiar) overtime rule.
Starting this fall, each team will get an opportunity to possess the ball in overtime during the regular season, just like in the playoffs. Under the old rule, regular season OT games would end if a touchdown was scored on the first possession.
Now, there will be a 10-minute OT period and each time will get an opportunity with the ball, even if the opening drive ends in a touchdown. Denver Broncos coach Sean Payton is in favor of the change.
“I like that," Payton said at the NFL's Annual League Meeting on Monday.
