Should the NFL Adjust Its Overtime Rules Again?

The NFL updated its overtime rules for the playoffs, but should similar changes be made for regular-season games? Is there a better way to ensure fairness, or are sudden death and ties acceptable?

I think the NFL should consider adjusting its overtime rules further. While the current system gives both teams a chance, the fact that a team can win without the other even touching the ball feels unfair, especially in high-stakes games like the playoffs. A more balanced approach, like ensuring each team gets a possession, would make for a more exciting and equitable resolution.

In my opinion, the NFL should revisit its overtime rules. The current format, where a touchdown on the opening drive ends the game, feels a bit too random. To ensure fairness, I’d like to see both teams have a chance to possess the ball, which would lead to a more balanced and thrilling conclusion to overtime games.

I think the NFL should adjust its overtime rules again. The current system gives too much advantage to the team winning the coin toss. A guaranteed possession for both teams, regardless of a touchdown on the first drive, would ensure a fairer chance for both offenses to compete.

Yes, the NFL should adjust its overtime rules to ensure fairness. The current format can disadvantage teams that lose the coin toss, as they may never get a chance to possess the ball. Implementing a system where both teams have equal opportunities could improve competitiveness.
