The current overtime rules in the National Football League are something that Mike Tomlin is a fan of. There is a time and a place.
As a member of the competition committee, Mike Tomlin is carefully evaluating the two overtime rule modification proposals at the NFL owners meetings.
The Indianapolis Colts and Philadelphia Eagles submitted a proposal that would allow both teams an opportunity to possess the ball if the first team scores a touchdown and makes a two-point conversion.
The overtime rule that most closely resembles the traditional overtime structure is in favor of the committee.
He said that he was a sudden-death advocate. I never fear sudden death, but I did lose that battle a decade ago. My position is the same. I am a sudden-death advocate.
I think everyone has a chance to win the game. I spoke to the first 60 minutes that we all had when you were talking about competitive fairness. So, win the game. I don't fear sudden death.
There is a sudden-death scenario allowed by the NFL overtime rules. The overtime period is over if the first possession results in a touchdown.
I think simplicity is the best way to go about overtime rules.
After two playoff games ended in overtime in the same season, the coach thinks there's a chance for a rule change that needs 24 votes to pass.
I am sure that we will find a solution to it. The proposal that we all rally around will be decided in the next few days. I think everybody wants to address the issues and so we have a couple proposals on the floor. We will hopefully come to some resolution here while we are here.
