Overtime proposal PASSED!

The National Football League owners have approved a change in overtime, starting with the playoffs following the 2010 season, that will modify the sudden-death format and prevent a team from winning a game with a field goal on the opening possession.

The vote was 28-4. It needed at least 24 votes to pass.

It's the first change in playoff overtime rules in the NFL in 52 years.

Honestly, I never thought it would actually happen

nvm, i looked it up. There is a overtime, but if they still have the same points at the end then it ends in a tie. That Eagle game went in overtime but both teams ended up with the same amount of points at the end of it.

this new rule only effects playoffs. the regular season is the same as usual. play 1 ot then if no points scored it is a tie like u said.

    • I mean, I think you're being a little hyperbolic with the last statement, but point taken. 
    • Pass rush was the biggest issue in tonight’s game, and we were tied for 28th in sacks this season. That is a major area of need that has to get addressed this offseason. I just don’t see a path where there’s a game changing QB you can bring in with where we are drafting and quality of veterans that will be available. We certainly can do better than Dalton as a backup, and should ideally have a developmental guy  (perhaps a day 3 pick this year). We have bryce for one more year on a reasonable contract and then I think 2027 is the year that you reset that position (unless he massively improves).
    • Agreed, honestly basically bringing this group back as a healthy unit would be alright.  Brady Christensen should be resigned to a very reasonable deal with him recovering from the Achilles.  Atleast we're alright at 4 of our 5 spots with Lewis, Mays, Hunt, and Moton, Nijman was decent.  While if we can snag a deal on someone, take a stab, however our resources need to go to Linebacker, Pass Rush and a real option outside Tmac (coker is amazing, but if we can get someone who isnt braindead opposite Tmac, we can fully unleash Coker AND Tmacs full potential, cant move him into the slot if racoon boy is out there licking doorknobs).
