To get more commercials in?  Treat it like the start of the 2nd and 4th quarters.......flip the fields and just keep playing until you have a winner or in the case of regular season, until an allotted amount of time is done.  Why shouldn't the team that possesses the ball at the end of the 4th quarter not be able to continue with whatever advantage they may have established at that point of the game?If a team makes a last second score at the end of regulation to tie it up with no time on the clock, shouldn't they have to kick off to start the 5th quarter? IMO, this won't dramatically alter the way teams play the end of the 4th quarter in a tie game.  Oh sure, they may not try to toss up a hail mary or kick a 60+ yard field goal to break the tie, but you will get that scenario back if the OT game looks like it may end in a tie.Oh hell....I said I was done "debating" this topic yesterday......I guess I am in OT on it now.  <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/coffee.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":coffee:" title="Coffee    :coffee:" data-shortname=":coffee:" /></blockquote>
