Reminder of the OT rule change for postseason
A reminder with postseason football starting: If a game goes to overtime, both teams are now guaranteed to get possession of the ball, even if the team with the ball first scores a TD.

Seems as if the Refs would have just called a fair game in ‘09 between the Saints and Vikings, we could have avoided all of these rule changes.
And with our luck, we will end up being the first team(s)to have to play multiple overtimes to determine the winner and the rules will be changed again next year.

But it would be so the Vikings to end up in a 6 quarter game late Sunday and then have to play a road noon game on Saturday.
If anyone will utilize the new rule in the playoffs, it'll be the Vikings.
