The NFL will at least consider a rule change that would make overtime sessions the same format in the regular season and postseason. When the NFL gathers in West Palm Beach, Fla., beginning at the end of the month for the annual league meeting, it will discuss possible rule changes that include tinkering with the extra period.
The exact language for the proposed alteration, according to the league: “By Philadelphia; amends Rule 16, Section 1, to align the postseason and regular season overtime rules by granting both teams an opportunity to possess the ball regardless of the outcome of the first possession, subject to a 15-minute overtime period in the regular season.”Top QB prospect puts up unreal 40-yard dash time at eye-popping pro dayCurrently, the team that receives the ball first in overtime of a regular-season game can end the game with a touchdown on the first possession. In the playoffs, both teams are guaranteed a possession. Additionally, the current rules have limited regular-season overtime to 10 minutes. The proposal would add five extra minutes and thus lower the chances of a tie.the Lions pushing for changes to the playoff formatJoshua Riibe detained in PR as his frustrated dad tells reporters to leave them alone after Pitt student's disappearance
