Vote in our poll: Should Bills have received a possession after Chiefs’ OT touchdown?
Overtime rules in the NFL playoffs say if the first team to get the ball punts, loses the ball on downs or makes a field goal, the other team would then have an offensive possession.
But if that first team scores a touchdown, as the Kansas City Chiefs did in their 42-36 win over the Buffalo Bills on Sunday, the game ends. (A defensive touchdown or safety on the opening drive in overtime also ends the game.)
The overtime rule has also gone the other way for the Chiefs, who tried to get it changed after not getting the ball in overtime of the 2018 AFC Championship Game against Tom Brady and the Patriots.
Now that the overtime rule has worked for and against the Chiefs, would you like to see it changed to guarantee possession for both teams? Vote in our poll below:
