in OT points are worth the same as in regulation time...TD is 6pts
After a touchdown
Aaron. Rodgers has ne'er thrown a interception returned for a touchdown in his NFL career. He only has had a fumble returned for a touchdown in the wildcard matchup in overtime at Arizona against the cardinals
When you score a touchdown in American football, Six points are awarded. You then have the choice to either kick the ball ball through the goalposts for one extra point, or run another play for two extra points.
In a regular-season overtime, each team is awarded two timeouts. In a postseason overtime, each team is awarded three timeouts. This is because in the postseason, overtime is considered the beginning of a new game that will continue through successive quarters until somebody scores. If teams played through two overtime quarters without scoring, they would be given three more timeouts for the third and fourth quarters of overtime, just as they would during regulation time.
the whole field without endzones is 100 yards, the actual touchdown zone is 10 yards
The PAT (point after touchdown) is required after a team scores in regulation play. The NFL uses points scored as a tie-breaker so the extra point has to be attempted. This is not the case in Sudden Death Overtime. If the game has gone into OT, and each team has had a chance to score, the PAT is not kicked.
The Colts defeated the Giants in the NFL's first sudden-death overtime in an NFL Championship Game on December 28. Alan Ameche(FB) scored on a one-yard touchdown run after 8:15 of overtime. The televised game is generally looked upon as the one that brought the NFL to its first great national attention as we know it today.

Overtime in the NFL is 15 minutes.
That question was asked in many rule changing portions on the offseason, they ARE however thinking of changing the overtime rules to the college type overtime, in that overtime, each team gets a chance to score from the opponents side of the field, if they score, the opponent must score the same amount of points (touchdown or field goal) to still have a chance, but if they don't score, they lose. There's no news on IF they're going to make the change, but the teams in the NFL who have lost in overtime a lot certainly want the change soon.
Brett Favre has thrown the most touchdown passes in NFL history, with 508.
