Pro Football Talk is running an article on two proposed overtime rule changes. here's the link. https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.c...lutionary-spot-and-choose-overtime-procedure/
What change, if any, would you make. here is mine.
Just continue the game where the ball is when the 4th quarter clock runs out. Play an additional 10 minutes or the game ends after each team possessed the ball once, if one team scored. You would eliminate the kneeing down by a team who wants to go to overtime. There would be an added strategy for when an offense has a fourth down just outside FG range with under 10 seconds to go in the game and a time out remaining. Would you go for the first down (to get in FG range), punt, or try a Hail Mary, knowing the ball will be turned over at that spot if you don’t make the FG or failed Hail Mary pass. Or do you punt your opponent deep in their territory to start the overtime.
