The NFL will be voting next week to change their overtime rules from a sudden-death format, which was adopted in 1974 and which many believe gives an unfair advantage to the coin-toss winner. Almost 60% of the time the coin-toss winner wins the game, which doesn't seem that much to us but is apparently enough to warrant a vote. The proposed rule change would give both teams a chance at possession in playoff games if the team that won the coin-toss kicks a field goal on the first series. NFL Competition Committee Rich McKay tells the Daily News, "We are trying to put in a system that emphasizes more skill and strategy as opposed to the randomness of the coin flip."
