they should just end the NFL playoffs now, no other game this season will be that exciting ...

I absolutely despise the NFL overtime rule though.

One of the best games I have ever watched. The level of QB play and strategy was great.

I agree with both posts.

At least 4 times, i was like "that's it. That's the dagger...this game is over"....only to be wrong.

The second best NFL game I have ever seen.

You knew we were going to ask . . . so what is the best? I'm thinking Miami v. San Diego 1982?

ditto the OT rule. Might as well just toss a coin and give the winner the win. I cannot remember when I last saw the team that gets the ball first lose in OT.

well, thanks to the power of google, you can rest assured - stats from 1974-2003, there have been 325 OT games, the team that won the coin toss won 169 times, or 52%, 43% were won by the team that lost the coin toss, 141 games, and 15 games ended in a tie.

i don't see stats that update it past that point, but just did a pretty quick search, but doesn't sound like it is as prevalent as originally thought

To me, basketball has always had the best OT rules....play another (shortened) period, and play until the buzzer of that period.

And of course, baseball with extra innings is good too, with the same philosophy. Not a fan of either college or pro football OT rules currently, and not a fan of sudden death golf either. I prefer the British Open's 4 hole cumulative score method.

Seems more important

@rainman The Rams Titans Superbowl.

Going to be a tough weekend for my family - daughter is a Bengals fan (since she was old enough to choose a team) and her husband is a Kansas native who loves the Chiefs.

Apparently the KC/Buffalo game has caused a change in the NFL Playoff OT rules. If my CBS news feed is to be believed, beginning with the upcoming post-season, each team is guaranteed 1 possession. Even with an opening drive TD, the opposing team will possess the ball.

Wonder how long it will take this rule to make its way into the regular season games?

NFL overtime rules are already stupid IMO......this would at least be an improvement. No way you should lose a game in OT without ever having the opportunity to have possession of the ball. Imagine if NBA OT rules were similar.

I think it is a change in the right direction. I would prefer a game to end with no tie and to just add time to play. It will make games longer but it will produce better games I think. I hope it makes it to the regular season soon.

I'm okay with the occasional regular season tie, but I do agree I like the change. I like the idea of each team at least getting the ball.

I like the rule change. I would also implement it for the regular season. I'm not a big fan of ties.

Each team getting the ball is the best idea for sure. It is the best way to go about it. As far as how to add on time and how many times you would do so is a good debate to have.

I think it would be cool to just do two possessions. If both score then do two more possessions etc. It would not last as long as some would think.

Modified college rule OT. Start on the 50, equal possession. Once each team possesses the ball, the OT period is over. If still tied, another possession.

In either case, I definitely like the idea of equal possession. As infrequent as ties occur in regular season i still don't mind. But if doing away with ties gets the regular season OT rules changed, I'm all for it.

I do not watch college very much at all but dang I gotta start. I like so many of their rules and their OT rule is great. Good points all around burkemi

I actually prefer college over NFL

Agree totally. I'm a college football fanatic (well, starting to be a little less so with open transfer and NIL, but still a big fan). It's a stretch to say i'm even a casual fan of pro football.

I never had the exposure and started watching football in the last few years. I will attempt next year to give it more time. The rule set seems to be a better system.

I guess I fall somewhere between you two.

I'm a fan of the NFL. Happily watch. But I follow college closer and enjoy the games a bit more.
