Behind the Divisional matchup of the 2021 National Football League postseason between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Buffalo Bills that ended in victory for the first to score in the first possession, various teams generated a proposal to change the regulation and allow both teams to have the ball at least once before defining a confrontation.
Heading to the meeting of owners, where they will work from these proposals, the Tennessee Titans, Indianapolis Colts and the Philadelphia Eagles will fight to deliver the ball to the two offensesalthough with various options, since those from Nashville would look for the game to end as long as the first attack scores six points plus a conversion of two units.
On the other hand, the other two teams seek, regardless of the result of the first attack, that the two squads managed to put their quarterback with a view to getting units and extending the duel or ending it, both in the regular season and in the postseason.
There are currently different criteria for the first elimination stage, as well as the playoffs. In the regular season, only an extra 10-minute quarter is played with the criterion that if the first attack scores a touchdown, they win.. On the other hand, if they score a field goal, the other team can respond and the duel ends if this second team achieves six points. In case they get the same number of points each squad (zero or three) continues until a team gets units again or ends in a tie.
In the postseason, on the other hand, a full 15-minute quarter is played with the aforementioned criteria., although in this case the duel would end until one prevails regardless of the number of extensions that are played in the match. Currently the longest game in history has only included two extra quarters.
