The sport is called football......not offense. I am not of the belief that both teams need to have the ball if the first team scores a touchdown.
But your argument works against you. The Patriots didn't win football...they won offense. The sport is called football. Why should the Patriots be going to the Super Bowl when only 2/3 of their team got them there?
How in the world does that work against what I said?????/
Kansas City DEFENSE had a plenty of chances to stop New England from scoring a touchdown and they failed....thus they deserved to lose the game
Do any of you remember Packers vs Arizona Cardinal playoff game from 2009? Packers get the ball first and the DEFENSE makes a play and strips the ball from Aaron Rodgers and the Cardinals won the game in overtime without their offense ever stepping on the field.
I remember a Steelers vs Cowboys game where the Steelers got the ball first and Rothlisberger throws an interception that is returned to the 1 inch line and the cowboys kick an 18 yard field goal to win the game.
If your defense gets a stop on the opponents side of the field, or gets a turnover they have put their offense in a tremendous position to win the game by field goal.
The team that loses the coin flip wins overtime 48% of the time. If the team that won the coin flip won the game 60% of the time instead of 52 then I would agree for a change.
48-52 is about as even as one can get.
I think college overtime is garbage and fake football. The NFL does it perfectly.
I loved the rule change that the team that gets the ball first has to score a touchdown to win instead of a field goal.
This notion that Kansas City should have had a chance at the ball after giving up a touchdown in overtime reeks of participation trophy nonsense.
