After the 2021 NFL playoffs were riddled with overtime scenarios and close games, players and fans alike found themselves disenchanted with the league’s current rules for the extra period.
Three teams have now taken it upon themselves to petition the NFL to make a change.
The Colts, Eagles and Titans all submitted rules proposals to the league this week, seeking to change the format of the league’s overtime. Indianapolis and Philadelphia simply requested that both teams be allowed to possess the football in overtime, while Tennessee suggested a more unique tweak to the current rules.
