The NFL is officially set to change overtime rules following years of debate surrounding how fair the rules are for both teams. The new rules would guarantee at least one offensive possession to each team, but the change only applies to postseason games.
Question of the day: Did the NFL get the overtime rule right?
My answer: There’s still room for improvement, but I think it’s a big step in the right direction.
It’s a really curious situation, since now the strategy of overtime has been flipped on its head. Is it now advantageous to not get the ball first?
