[QUOTE="OldSchool101, post: 948461, member: 10086"] The league obviously saw the massive disparity on “sudden death” after a coin toss. I think the new rule is much more fair. That said I’d add a wrinkle. 1. The 1st drive (1st possession only) MUST score [B]8[/B] points in OT to win. Meaning a 7 point margin sends the ball to the team losing the coin toss next. By adding the 2 point scenario, you minimize the 1st possession Winner scenario by greater %. Also the winner of the coin toss is risking missing the 2pt conversion and scoring just 6 points. That opens up a greater possibility that the second possession team (loser of the coin toss) wins. [B]Game over[/B] on the second drive (7-6 in OT) and we all don’t go to bed at 1am. Due to 8 being mandatory on the first possession there’s an increased probability that BOTH teams touch the ball. But the rule is only modified by a very slight 1 point from its current state. An 8 point Defeat is more definitive and hard to argue against. The losing team Defense had to both give up a big drive or big play etc.. [B]+[/B] allow a second score from the 2 yard line. PS. In case you’re wondering. Just ~50% of NFL teams convert a 2point play. That means there would be roughly a 50% reduction on 1st possession victories in OT on a TD. Likely more because some teams (those confident in their Defense) may opt to take 7 points and kickoff as an alternative. 2 possession objective achieved [/QUOTE]
