With the NFL draft quickly approaching, the rules committee has been
in constant talks about amending one of the biggest rules in the
league, which is the overtime rule where if one team scores a
touchdown on the opening position the game is over.

Competition committee chairman Rich McKay said today they’re not
endorsing any proposal and there has been a lot of momentum for
changing the rule, but its unclear whether enough owners will agree on
a specific proposal when they gather next week for their annual
meetings.

One of the proposals that has already been presented came from both
the Colts and Eagles where its mandatory for each team to have an
overtime possession before moving to sudden death. The Titans have
also proposed a tweak that would make mandatory possession’s for each
team unless the team that has the first possession scores a touchdown
and converts a two point conversion.
