The new overtime rules in the NFL playoffs guarantee that both teams will have at least one possession. Previously, the first team to score a touchdown or a safety automatically won. Now, after the controversy in last season’s Chiefs-Bills game of the Divisional round, each team getthe ball at least once.

Under this new format, many experts believe that coaches would prefer to kick in overtime if they win the coin toss rather than receive the ball. If the team that wins the coin toss defer, they will know what they need on their possession to claim the victory. For example, field goal, touchdown or even win with a touchdown and a two-point conversion if the other team only went for an extra point if they scored a touchdown first.
