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.
