By a vote of 28-4, the NFL owners today agreed to a new format for overtime during the playoffs. The new rules for overtime could be considered the "Brett Favre Rules" since many feel it was the loss he had against the Saints during the playoffs that brought forth this change.
The playoff overtime rule changes are as follows:
1.The first team to score a touchdown wins.
2.If a team kicks a field goal and the other team scores a touchdown, then the team that scored the touchdown wins.
3. If both teams score a field goal, then the next team that scores wins.
4.If the defense scores a touchdown or safety, their team wins.
I like the proposed new overtime changes for the playoffs. It would be a great idea for these rules to apply to regular season games as well.
