Many NFL fans are in agreement with CBS play-by-play man Jim Nantz on Sunday evening – the league’s overtime format is not great.
The Chiefs just beat the Bills, 42-36, in overtime on Sunday night.
A back-and-forth affair from Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen featured just one of the quarterbacks in overtime. Mahomes and the Chiefs got the ball first and they did not give it up. Kansas City scored a game-winning touchdown in overtime, as they’re off to the AFC Championship Game.
Nantz had a brutally honest admission on the NFL’s overtime format.
“In overtime, the Bills never got a chance,” he said.
Nantz just subtweeted the NFL rules committee about changing overtime

Thank you Jim Nantz as great as it was and it’s the BEST of at least this era of the @NFL. The overtime rule MUST change in the Playoffs. Both teams deserve touching the ball. Period. It’s been said many times before, but it’s got be said again. Whether it pisses off the League🤷♂️

Jim Nantz with the nicest way of saying he despises the overtime rules

“In overtime, the Bills never got a chance,” Jim Nantz points out, noting that the Patriots did the same thing to these Chiefs back in 2018.

It would be nice if both offenses get a chance to score a touchdown in overtime. Perhaps the NFL’s competition committee will consider a change at some point.
