Spoiler alert: The article reveals the outcome of the “classic” game it discusses. If you enjoy American football but have not watched this game, try to set aside half an hour to watch the highlights [1] or the replay of the final minutes [2].

I suspect that, in the near future, the NFL will relax the sudden death rules again by always allowing overtime to continue past the first drive, so both offenses and both defenses get to play in overtime. That said, for the overtime game this past weekend, I think a decision on a kickoff prior to the end of regulation made as big a difference as the subsequent coin flip. NFL’s current rules make you want to avoid overtime if at all possible. Both teams knew that going in and the losing quarterback was right to say simply: “The rules are what they are.”
