NFL owners will discuss two proposals to modify overtime rules at the league's annual meeting next week, and competition committee chairman Rich McKay said "there’s a lot of momentum to" make a change after this year's playoffs.
"My history on this rule tells me that 24 votes is not easy to get," McKay said in a conference call Friday. "But I do think the statistics absolutely warrant an examination of whether our overtime rules need to be further modified."
Currently, NFL rules make it so that the team receiving the overtime kickoff can win the game if it scores a touchdown on the period's opening possession.
