When the NFL was debating a shorter overtime during the league meetings in March, one specific situation was offered as a disadvantage that needed to be eliminated: a team playing a long fifth period on a Sunday afternoon four days before playing a Thursday night game.
That exact situation happened to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2016. On October 30, the Sunday of NFL Week Eight, the Buccaneers went to overtime with the Oakland Raiders. The two teams battled through five possessions and took the extra period into its final two minutes before Oakland won on a 41-yard touchdown catch by Seth Roberts.
