Another coin toss, another time KC got the ball first.

What happened guys, didn't the coin flip determine the outcome? Or maybe that other team on the field can compete?

Actually, numerous analysts have echoed the call for changes. And more than one has said that the NFL is going to review the current overtime rules and look at switching it up.

So it looks like the message has been heard.

There's likely no chance whatsoever that the NFL changes overtime rules for the regular season.

But in the postseason, both teams should absolutely have an opportunity to possess the ball.

Enough said.  The rule should be, if the 1st team scores either a FG or a TD.  The other team has the opportunity to possess the ball.

I have a feeling the NFL doesn’t want to do this.  They are worried about the time.

The problem with that is every time the NFL touches the rules they screw them up even worse.  This could well be another example of "be careful what you wish for" before it is over.

Understood.

I just knew who ever won the coin flip was going to win the game! 

Oh wait...that was last week never mind.

What happened between the Chiefs and the Bengals didn't change my opinion one bit; OT rules have to change. People are too focused on the game's outcome when it's more about the process getting there.
