>> There have been sudden death games THIS year. So I ask again, why the difference?
@donnatella: No there hasn't. And there hasn't been sudden death OT in the NFLÂ for a few years. The new system started in 2010 for the playoffs and in 2012 for all games.
@chilladahun:
It is sudden death after the first team that receives ends their first possession. The game would have ended last night had either of the knickers score the FG attempts at the end.
@notfromhere: that wasn't the statement from the original post.
And that's not factually correct. If on the first possession a TD (offensively or defensively ) or a safety is scored, the game is over. If a FG is scored on the first possession, the team that didn't receive the kickoff get a chance to tie or win.
