What's this?

I don't buy that argument.


NE got to play OT with their best player on the field, Atlanta didn't. If the coin flip had gone the other way, same argument stands.

Imagine Tom Brady leads this massive comeback, all the momentum, and then doesn't see the field in OT.

College OT makes more sense to me. Maybe the NFL moves the ball back to the 50 to start. I dunno.

  Was last night the night that finally changes NFL overtime rules? ** -- halesvb11 02/06/2017 10:40AM

  I'm okay with sudden death. Your defense is allowed to make a stop. ** -- nolanvt 02/06/2017 12:34PM
  Not sure what it is now, but previously offenses scored ~60% after KO -- Nova Hokie 95 02/06/2017 12:40PM
  I think that number is actually the winner of the coin toss -- reestuart 02/06/2017 3:41PM
