Buffalo Bills propose overtime rule change for playoffs to ensure both teams get the ball

This is not the first time it’s been tried and it won’t be the last, but the Buffalo Bills have put forth a rule change specifically for postseason overtime. The new rule would ensure both teams have a chance with the football.

It’s not the more traditional “Each team should have at least one possession” that the Kansas City Chiefs proposed a few years back. That proposal was voted down by the other owners. Buffalo’s proposal suggests a full timed quarter (maybe ten minutes, maybe 12, maybe 15) with regular rules to ensure each team gets a chance with the ball.
