What is 'sudden death' and when does it take place during an NFL game?

The term is not exclusive to the NFL, but refers to a specific method of resolving a sporting event that ends with a tie. In that method, the teams begin an extra period of play (in the NFL called "overtime"). Under normal game rules, the team which first scores in overtime wins the game immediately. The team that loses suffers a "sudden death". There can also be sudden death hockey or soccer games. This is different from baseball, where both teams have an opportunity to bat in their half of the inning before a winner is declared.


What is the origin of the sports phrase Sudden Death Overtime?

SUDDEN DEATH - "Settling a tie with a single stroke. The term comes from a variety of sports...The term was transferred to other kinds of instantaneous decision in the late 20th century..." It is used, with varying rules applied, in football, soccer, ice hockey, golf and tennis. Gamblers used the term even earlier to describe the final single throw of the dice or flip of the coin. Interestingly enough, the first appearance of the phrase 'sudden death' had nothing to do with sports. Mark Twain reported it in 1865 as a frontier expression for rotgut whiskey."
