There are a million tweaks the NFL could make, including with overtime, but there is simply no reason for it to
That’s the frustrating part about the game that blew our collective minds. It could have been better. Ithave been better. And it’s not like the NFL doesn’t have a vault of attractive ideas sitting in the recesses of 345 Park Ave. collecting dust. There have been some innovative overtime proposals lobbied recently. There have been alternative overtimes used effectively by the competing leagues the NFL has used as a petri dish for decades.
Last year, the Baltimore Ravens proposed a spot-and-choose scenario, which awards the team that wins the coin toss the right to pick where to spot the ball or whether they want to play offense or defense. We could copy collegiate overtime. We could, as MMQB Podcast co-host Gary Gramling suggested on our show this week, install an additional 15-minute quarter. We could adopt the CFL’s overtime, which is a kind of modified collegiate overtime with a forced two-point conversion. We could come to the table, dissect the best of everything and come up with a proposal that doesn’t act as an anticlimax.
The NFL has the worst set of overtime rules out of any of the major sports. In recent years, the NHL and MLB have both openly explored with tweaks. Hockey’s overtime is anunto itself. The strategy of condensing the game to a three-on-three matchup before eventually folding a still-tied game into a shootout is a phenomenal complement to regulation. Sometimes leagues throw them out, sometimes they stick and become part of the game’s mainstream appeal.
