The Dolphins, Bengals and Vikings all voted against the change to the NFL’s previous overtime rules, per AlbertBreer
Although Cincinnati has yet to make any comment on its vote, Bengals coach Zac Taylor addressed the proposal with a vague answer earlier in the week. He declined to say which way the franchise, which went 3–1 in overtime coin flips last year, would vote.. “I don’t think conversation is a bad thing, but we’ll see how it shakes out the next couple of days. Feels like something new crops up analytically every couple of weeks for us. Just things that happen to other teams that we talk about.
Per NFL research, teams who won the coin toss won 10 of the 11 playoff games under the league’s previous overtime rules. The Bengals were the only team to lose the toss in overtime and go on to win, which occurred in last season’s AFC championship game against the Chiefs. News of the proposal’s approval comes after a particularly controversial finish in last year’s playoffs. The Chiefs downed the Bills in an overtime thriller, but Buffalo never had a chance to respond after Patrick Mahomes led Kansas City down the field and into the end zone on the first possession of the extra period.
The Colts and the Eagles went on to lead the charge for change to the league’s overtime format, which received widespread support and culminated in Tuesday’s successful vote.
