NFL owners decided by a reported vote of 29-3 to change the game’s overtime rule for the postseason going forward. Whereas in the past, the first team to get the possession in overtime can end the game with a touchdown, now both teams are guaranteed an opportunity in the extra period, with the only exceptions being if the first possession results in a safety or a defensive touchdown.
The driving force behind this rule change seems to be the contest between the Buffalo Bills and Kansas City Chiefs during the most recent postseason. After the two teams traded a flurry of scores in the final four minutes of the game, the Chiefs won the overtime coin toss and proceeded to score the game-winning drive before Josh Allen and the Bills' offense—who had been equally unstoppable that game—had a chance to retaliate.
