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.

What are the NFL point after rules and how do they impact the outcome of a game?

In the NFL, after a touchdown, a team can choose to kick an extra point or go for a two-point conversion. An extra point is worth 1 point and is kicked from the 15-yard line, while a two-point conversion is worth 2 points and is attempted from the 2-yard line. The outcome of these point after attempts can impact the final score of the game by adding to or subtracting from a team's total points.

Do you kick the extra point if you score a touchdown at the end of the game?

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.

How does an NFL overtime differ from a National College Football League overtime?

Here are the overtime rules for the NFL and the NCAA Football In the NFL's regular season, if a game is tied at the end of regulation, it goes into Overtime. The visiting team gets to choose heads or tails for the coin toss. They play another 15:00 minute period. The first team to score (Whether by TD, field goal, or safety. Doesn't matter), automatically wins the game. If no team has scored by the end of the Overtime period, the game is deemed a tie. This is a rare occurrence. In the NFL's post season games (Playoffs and Super Bowl), the rules are the same as the regular season, except once the 15:00 minute overtime period runs out, they start another 15:00 Overtime period. It should be noted that no Super Bowl has ever gone into Overtime. The longest NFL game was between the Miami Dolphins and the Kansas City Chiefs on December 25, 1971. The Miami Dolphins kicker Garo Yepremian kicked the game winning field goal 7 minutes and 40 seconds into double overtime. In NCAA Football, if a game goes into Overtime. Each team gets a chance to score from the opponent's 25 yard line (25 yards from the endzone) with no game clock. If the score is still tied after the first overtime period, they play a second overtime period. This process repeats itself until someone is winning at the end of an overtime period. Starting with the third Overtime period, teams who score TD's are required to go for a 2 point conversion, instead of kicking a single extra point.
