The NFL passed an overtime proposal that guarantees both teams will get possession of the ball at least once in postseason games, a source told Sports Illustrated‘s Albert Breer on Tuesday.
However, not every franchise was in favor of the new format.
According to Breer, the Dolphins, Bengals and Vikings all voted against the change to the league’s previous overtime rules. The final vote ended 29–3, but was reportedly in danger of being tabled until a compromise was reached that made the proposal only apply to playoff games.
