NFL owners have approved new overtime rules for postseason games. The vote was 28-4, with Baltimore, Buffalo, Cincinnati and Minnesota voting against the change.
Under the new rule, if the team winning the OT coin toss makes a field goal on its first possession of the extra period, the other team would get a possession, with a chance to either tie the game with a field goal or win it with a touchdown. If it tied the game with a field goal of its own, the old sudden-death rules would then take effect, with the next team to score winning the game.
