![]() ![]() Each team gets three timeouts per half (two overtime periods).There are no coach challenges, with all reviews being initiated by the replay official.If the score is tied after each team’s first possession, the next score by either team (touchdown, field goal or safety) will win the game.Teams play 15-minute periods until there’s a winner.Each team will have the opportunity to possess the ball at least once before a winner is determined.A coin flip determines which team receives the opening kickoff.Here’s a breakdown of the playoff overtime rules: Prior to the possession rule change, 10 of the 11 playoff games that went to overtime under the post-2010 overtime rule changes were won by the team that received the ball first. The change was made following renewed scrutiny of playoff overtime rules after the Kansas City Chiefs’ AFC divisional playoff win over the Buffalo Bills in January 2022. The bulk of the NFL’s playoff overtime rules were implemented in 2010, with one change approved by the league’s competition committee last spring that allows for both teams to possess the ball at least once before a winner can be determined. But if the Eagles play the way they can play, they will be extremely tough to beat. Travis Kelce has had another tremendous season and he’ll put stress on a defense. The Chiefs are in the Super Bowl for the third time in four years and experience counts for something. Give Andy Reid time and he’s the best in the business at drawing up a plan, yet he’s 1-2 in Super Bowls with a couple of losses to Tom Brady, so. Even for that Philadelphia offensive line, he’ll create problems. The Eagles push open huge holes for that ground game, and Jalen Hurts can sit back and pick apart defenses.ĮAGLES CONCERNS: Chiefs defensive lineman Chris Jones is a wrecking ball who can line up inside or outside. The back end of that Philadelphia defense is smothering. This is a machine, with the best offensive line in football, and a devastating defensive front that set a franchise record with 70 sacks. This isn’t the underdog Philadelphia team that stunned the NFL by winning it all five years ago. Meanwhile, Kansas City’s facing a juggernaut in the Eagles. CHIEFS CONCERNS: Patrick Mahomes is running in ski boots, and two weeks is not a lot of time to nurse that ankle back to some semblance of health. ![]()
