Andy Reid, Too, Thinks NFL OT Rules Need A Tweaking

We know their quarterback doesn’t like it. Now we know the Kansas City Chiefs head coach also thinks changes to the NFL’s overtime rules should be instituted.

Andy Reid knows exactly what the Buffalo Bills went through Sunday night, with not getting a chance on offense in overtime of a playoff loss. KC was a victim of such circumstances in the 2019 AFC Championship game—a loss to Tom Brady and the Patriots.

Buffalo downplayed the overtime rules, but Reid and his team three years ago tried to change the league’s OT rules to no avail.

“I’m glad we didn’t change them as of last night,” Reid said. “I had a chance to talk to (Bills coach) Sean (McDermott) afterward, and that’s I’m sure something they’re going to look at again, too, and I wouldn’t be opposed to it. That’s a hard thing, it was great for us last night, but is it great for the game, which is the most important thing that we should all be looking out for.

“To make things equal, it probably needs to be able to hit both offenses and both defenses.”

The Chiefs 2019 proposal:

  • Allow both teams the opportunity to possess the ball at least once in overtime, even if the first team to possess the ball in overtime scores a touchdown.
  • Eliminate overtime for preseason.
  • Eliminate overtime coin toss so that winner of the initial coin toss to begin the game may choose whether to kick or receive or which goal to defend.

That proposal was, of course, not adopted and didn’t even make it to a vote.
