By a vote of 28 to 4 on Tuesday March, 23, 2010 the new rule for overtime has been decided. In order to win in overtime you have to beat your opponent by more than a field goal if the opposing team scores first with a field goal. It’s about time that a team needs more than a field goal to win a football game in the NFL. As a fan I always hated to see my team lose by a field goal, especially when the seconds are ticking away, you can feel the game is over, and then the opposing team is on the 35 yard line setting up to kick a field goal. This is the NFL, not soccer. Scoring touchdowns is the way to win games. This is a good rule and sometime in May of this year there will be another meeting to bring that rule into the regular season. If this rule is passed, this season should be an exciting season. Players will then really need to push themselves further to win the game rather than wasting time to get into field goal range to win.
