Why does the NFL have sudden death overtime instead of an equal possession rule?

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.


Is there only overtime in American football if it is a draw?

Yes. In regular season games, teams will play up to 15 minutes of overtime in order to settle a tie with the first team to score being declared the winner. If neither team scores in the 15 minute overtime period, the game is declared a tie. There is nothing used to break ties like the shootout you might see in ice hockey or penalty kicks in association football. In a playoff game, teams will play as many minutes of overtime as it takes until one team scores and is declared the winner.


Is their a limit to how many overtimes in playoff nba games?

The NFL operates under sudden death overtime rules where the first team to score in a 15 minute overtime wins. Regular season games can end in a tie while post-season games can not. There is no limit to the number of overtimes in college football and the team with the most points at the end of an overtime period wins. If the teams are still tied at the end of a period, another overtime period begins.

How many times can you go into overtime in football?

Personally, zero. I'm exhausted by the end of the first inning, and have never understood the game, so the caddy is unlikely to send me into overtime.
