NFL League Meetings Will Cover Overtime Rules Proposals

NFL league meetings begin on Sunday, March 27. One of the biggest topics heading in to this year’s meetings is overtime rules.

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported on Friday that NFL competition committee chairman Rich McKay said there’s a “lot of momentum” around changing the overtime rules.

Right now, the overtime rule sparking the most controversy is that both teams do not necessarily get possession of the ball if the first possession results in a touchdown.

The Colts, Eagles and Titans submitted proposals in terms of changing the overtime rules this offseason.
