    New NFL OVERTIME Rule

    Beginning this week for the playoffs, the NFL will tweet its overtime rule. If Team A wins the toss and scores a touchdown, it wins as in the past. The change comes if Team A kicks a field goal, then Team B gets one possession to tie with a field goal or win the game with a touchdown.

    Only four teams voted against the rule and of the four only Baltimore is in the playoffs.

    I like it.....never thought it was fair for team not winning the coin toss.

    It'l be interesting to see if the rule comes into play. I'm not a big fan of it. I'd prefer a full 15 minute period in the playoffs of extra time or maintaining the current regular season sudden death rules.
    It's impossible to predict how the OT will be managed now in the playoffs. It should be fairly interesting.

    If tied after both teams first possessions.....it then becomes sudden death
