In a landmark and fundamentally fair and correct vote, the NFL decided on Tuesday to change the overtime rule for the playoffs, scuttling the ability of a team to win the toss, drive into field-goal range, and win the game with a field goal.
The next question is whether the rule will apply to the regular season.
We think it should, but we also think that such a revision raises issues requiring careful thought and consideration. We apply reckless thought and consideration to them in today’s PFT Daily.
