Andy Reid Questions NFL’s Overtime

January 25, 2022 3:54 am

Winning coach Andy Reid is among those questioning the NFL’s overtime setup, a day after his Chiefs won the OT coin toss, then marched downfield and beat Buffalo with a touchdown to advance to the AFC championship game. Reid says he expects the league to look at the rules that end the game if the team with the first possession of OT scores a touchdown. Those who support the current system say the defense needs to make a stop, and if it can’t then it gets what it deserves. The opposite viewpoint asks why shouldn’t both teams’ defenses be put in that position.
