Chiefs' Patrick Mahomes Talks New NFL OT Rules: 'Your Job Is to Find a Way to Win'

The NFL changed its playoff overtime rules this offseason, instituting a format that will guarantee each team at least one possession in the extra session.

And Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes is fine with the adjustment.

"Your job is to find a way to win the game, no matter how long it takes," he told Yahoo's Brian Sozzi.

The divisional round matchup between the Chiefs and Buffalo Bills in this year's postseason played a major role in the rule—which previously held that the first team to get possession in overtime could win the game if they scored a touchdown, before moving to sudden death—being changed.
