In last night’s AFC Championship Game, the New England Patriots beat the Kansas City Chiefs in overtime because they won a coin toss and proceeded to march down the field and score a touchdown. Kansas City’s young quarterback, Patrick Mahomes, who moments earlier had led a game-tying drive with :36 seconds on the clock, never got a chance to touch the football.
Folks, the NFL’s overtime rules are the worst in sports. It is simply ridiculous that a team would not get a chance to touch the ball, no matter what the opposition does with their opening possession.
