After a very controversial showdown between the Buffalo Bills and Kansas City Chiefs in the playoffs where the bonkers overtime rules played a major factor in the outcome, the NFL has decided to make a change.
The team that wins the coin toss typically gets the chance to march down the field, score a touchdown, and win the game. That will stay the same in the regular season, but in the postseason, both squads will now get a chance at possession.
Obviously it would've been better to implement this new rule for the entire year, but this is still a step in the right direction for the NFL. Of course, the Bills and Chiefs were in the midst of an absolute thriller as Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes went toe to toe.
Each QB responded every single drive, but Allen didn't get a chance to in OT because Mahomes took KC down the field and won it with a TD throw to Travis Kelce. The criticism came pouring in on the NFL following the thrilling matchup, claiming Allen should've got the chance to respond.
The Chiefs also went to overtime in the AFC Championship Game and won the toss again, but Mahomes threw an interception and the Bengals eventually got into field goal range and advanced to the Super Bowl.
