Sports Take: NFL needs to change overtime rules

By Marquis Cooley | Sports Editor

Like most NFL fans, I watched in awe Sunday night as the Kansas City Chiefs and the Buffalo Bills traded potential game-winning drives in Arrowhead Stadium during the final two minutes of regulation of the AFC playoff game.

Quarterbacks Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes were outstanding, as it was the first time in NFL history opposing quarterbacks threw for at least 300 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions, with at least 50 rushing yards in the same game. That makes it a shame the winner was essentially decided by a coin toss due to the NFL’s overtime rules.
