Conference Championship games today have a lot to live up to. Last week’s Divisional Round matchups included three underdogs winning on last-second field goals, and one of the greatest playoff quarterback duals all-time that ended in overtime. The biggest black mark on the weekend was that Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes had their fate determined by a coin flip due to some ridiculous NFL playoff overtime rules.
It’s no surprise that NFL fans view the Bills vs Chiefs as the most entertaining game of the Divisional Weekend by a wide margin.

What might be more surprising is that, even in the face of a pretty loud and public outcry from fans and analysts on the news and on social media, the support for a change of overtime rules isn’t as strong as one might have thought.
