Report: Colts Submit Proposal to Guarantee Both Teams Possessions in Overtime

The Colts have submitted a proposal to the league to guarantee each team a possession in overtime, per Judy Battista of NFL.com.

If approved, the rule change would apply to both the regular season and the postseason.

Despite the proposal, Battista reports that it is unclear how much support there is for the change within the league.

The current overtime rules stipulate that the team that wins the coin toss can win the game with a touchdown on the first possession, which has been a point of contention among some fans.

In this year’s postseason, the Chiefs were involved in two consecutive overtime games.
