New NFL OT rules may affect Super Bowl
Admin Sat Feb 05, 2011 4:48 pm
Big thanks to Cheesedog, and HQ member, for pointing this out.

In a nutshell, a field goal does not win it anymore. A game will have to end with a touchdown, or the second team to get the ball failing to score after the first team has scored a field goal.
When these rules came into affect a few weeks ago, I read an article about NFL teams hiring statisticians to look at the new rule and analyze different probablities. If the game goes into OT tomorrow, it will be the first experience of the new rule, and it would certainly be interesting to see how it would play out.
That's a hypothetical situation, of course; what we need is a rout of the Steelers!

What are your thoughts? Are the new rules an improvement?
