SI: With general managers and coaches out of the room, NFL owners voted
28-4 Tuesday to change overtime rules from simple sudden death to a
modified sudden death format. Under the new rules, implemented for the
playoffs only as of now, each team will get at least one possession in
overtime unless the first possession ends with a touchdown or a safety.
If the receiving team in overtime kicks a field goal, the other team
will get at least one possession before the game becomes sudden death.
