    Needs to change that both teams should get the ball at least once.

    Agree, OT rule is awful. We need to go back to college-style OT rules ASAP.

    If you can’t stop the opponent from scoring a TD on ONE single drive…..then no soup for you!

    I knew this was a coin flip game going into it.   If you bet KC, you quite literally WON A COIN FLIP

    @Biscuit

     You're in the minority dude. Most people think both teams should possess the ball at least once, certainly in the playoffs. There will be a rule change, you'll see

    Rule needs to change with how the offense is in today’s game vs back then. 

    how does NFL not realized that by now?

     Whoever gets the ball first in OT , most likely to win

    I wouldn’t want the college rules, but I think the 15 mins should be played out

    I think NFL is so physical asking them to play another 15 might be too much. Then what if it's still tied ? Another 15 ?

    We could say give both teams the ball once but the team getting the ball second gets a pretty massive advantage knowing what they need and having 4 downs to get it.

    I agree it isn't really fair but what OT setup would be fair ?

     Both teams have one possession, must go for two, no kicking XPs.

    Or someone could play some defense?  They should have squibbed the kickoff….would have been 7 or 6 seconds left. They should not have rushed 4. Rush 2 drop 9 into coverage.  Poor coaching cost them the game….and horrible defense

    that helps make my point

    if a team is so bad they can’t stop the opponent on their own 25 with 13 seconds left….and then let their opponent drive 75 yards on them….maybe they’re not good enough to win the game

    not saying Bills are BAD overall…….but they were, when it mattered most

    In 2019 the Kansas Chiefs proposed a rule change to the overtime rules. Each team would get the ball atleast once in overtime. The rule change was voted down.
