NFL competition committee expected to discuss possible OT changes

Rich McKay, chairman of the NFL's competition committee, expects the league to discuss possible changes to its overtime format Tuesday.

"I have no question it will be brought up," McKay said Sunday, according to Mark Maske of The Washington Post. "I have no question that there will be a team or two that is going to suggest a rule change."

Following McKay's comments, NFL.com's Judy Battista reported that the Indianapolis Colts submitted a proposal to ensure each team records an overtime possession in both the regular season and playoffs. It's unclear how much support there'll be for the change, although there's reportedly at least some sentiment in the committee to guarantee both teams one possession during overtime in the postseason, per Maske.

Additionally, McKay expects some proposals Tuesday will be made strictly for the playoffs.

The competition committee met Sunday in Indianapolis ahead of the NFL Scouting Combine, which begins Tuesday. Any changes to the league's overtime rules would require at least 24 out of 32 votes to pass.

A push for overtime modifications grew louder following last month's divisional-round thriller between the Kansas City Chiefs and Buffalo Bills. The Bills didn't touch the ball in overtime after the Chiefs won the coin toss and scored a game-winning touchdown on their opening drive.
