The Buffalo Bills lost the AFC Divisional Round in one of the most exciting games in NFL history. They lost to the Kansas City Chiefs in overtime, 37-31. The Chiefs won the coin toss in OT, drove down and ended the game. That prompted an uproar from fans everywhere that the overtime rules needed to change.

Bills quarterback Josh Allen was asked recently if he could change one rule in the NFL, what would it be. Logically, you would assume he would point to the overtime rules that disallowed his offense from getting a possession. His answer was very surprising.

“Let the players go, let them have some run,” Allen said. “It was so arbitrary on how they called the taunting calls this year. There were a few times this year where I got sacked, they were right there in my face. I'm looking around like, am I going to get this one… that's the one rule… there needs to be set, concrete rules on why they are being called.”

Allen makes a very good point. Numerous occasions this season, taunting was called when many people did not expect it. Other times it was not called when it looked like it should have, many of which happened in Buffalo. It is a subjective rule, which is always open up to criticism. That was the reason for the NFL changing the catch rule.

It's good to see that the Bills QB is not dying on the overtime rules hill. The fact that his offense, which had put up 150 yards of offense in under two minutes, did not get the ball in overtime was a shame. But what was even more shameful was that the Bills defense could not stop Kansas City from going 45 yards in less than 13 seconds.
