For those that haven't heard, the NFL adopted the playoff overtime rules for the regular season. If the team that loses the coin toss kicks a field goal on its opening drive, the other team gets a chance to tie the score or win the game. It is still sudden death in all other situations.
But I wonder this: if the team that wins the coin toss takes ten minutes to score a field goal and the other team takes the next five minutes but only gets to the fifty, what happens? Is the game over? Do they keep playing until that series ends?
