Following their painful loss to the New England Patriots in the AFC Championship Game, the Kansas City Chiefs submitted a proposal to change the rules of overtime. This came after the Chiefs lost in overtime without getting the chance to possess the ball.
The official proposal submitted by the Chiefs read as follows:
By Kansas City; to amend Rule 16 to (1) allow both teams the opportunity to possess the ball at least one time in overtime, even if the first team to possess the ball in overtime scores a touchdown; (2) eliminate overtime for preseason; and (3) eliminate overtime coin toss so that winner of initial coin toss to begin game may choose whether to kick or receive, or which goal to defend.
