That’s weird.

I get the rule that both teams get a possession even with a TD.

But to make it an entire half?

Strange and weird.

Don’t fully get it, but I’m sure the media will beat us to death with the explanations…

You keep thinking of it as overtime, (which it is), but it is an overtime GAME, not just one period like in the regular season. NFL does NOT want palyoff/superbowl ties.
 
FFS. How is this thread even a thing, let alone still going?

The rules changed this year.

End of.

Okay, but the Chiefs weren’t tied. They were down 3. So if that TD pass doesn’t happen, the Chiefs still have to make the FG to continue, correct? Since both teams would have had possession.

Right?

So Chiefs tie going to overtime 19-19

Both teams get the ball at least once

If SF kicks FG ( which they did) put them up 22-19 Chiefs ball either way.

If SF scored a TD, Chiefs would have to score a TD, and make XP/2pt. If XP or 2pt failed, game over by 1

IF Chiefs fail to score on this drive, game over. They have as long as they want as long as that drive is alive, and can go to OT Quarter 2 when clock hits 0:00. Thats why Romo was saying why rush a pass with 0:03 to go, and let the quarter run out.(it paid off either way for Chiefs.)

If Chiefs score FG to tie 22-22, then SF gets another chance but they have as long as they want, but game wont end until someone scores next.

If either team gets a score on DEF its over as well at anytime.
