The league on Tuesday changed its overtime rules for postseason games. Starting next season, if a team wins the coin toss and then kicks a field goal, the other team gets the ball. If that next series ends with another field goal, play will continue under the current sudden-death rules.
If the team winning the toss immediately scores a touchdown, however, the game is over
why not just play the entire extra 15 minutes?? |

I thought exactly the same thing. But I don't like it. I remember a few years ago in the NHL everybody was screaming about the losing team not getting a point in OT. Now, people hate the rule. Becareful what you wish for.
