Chiefs propose rule changes to overtime, review of personal fouls

Two of the nine rule changes for the upcoming year proposed by NFL teams were made by the Chiefs.

The first, hinted at by general manager Brett Veach at the NFL Scouting Combine, is an amendment to current NFL overtime rules.

Under the proposed amendment to Rule 16, each team would possess the ball at least once in overtime, even if the first team scores a touchdown. Overtime would also be eliminated in the preseason.

And the coin toss would be eliminated from overtime. Instead, the team that won the initial coin toss would choose whether to kick or receive or which goal to defend.
