NFL Overtime Rules


(Click the title above to read sports analyst Peter King's opinion.)

Anyone who watched the NFC Championship last Sunday had to be a little unnerved that the Saints beat the Vikings in an overtime where the Vikings never touched the ball. Here's my assessment: an overtime shouldn't be decided by sudden death, if the first possession of OT is decided by a coin toss.

Probably the easiest solution is to ensure that each team touches the ball at least once in overtime.

Or maybe I just wanted Favre to have another shot...
