| Texans Owner Bob McNair In Favor Of Changing Overtime Playoff Rules | | |
Texans owner Bob McNair will vote yes when NFL owners cast their ballots to change overtime for playoff games. He doesn't like the sudden-death system that's been in place since 1974. "I'm in favor of changing it," McNair said. "I don't like the prospects of going into overtime, losing a coin flip, and we might not even get the ball." At the NFL spring meetings in Orlando, the competition committee is recommending that overtime be changed in the playoffs to allow each team at least one possession if the team that wins the coin toss kicks a field goal. "They're talking about something that makes sense," McNair said. "I'd be in favor of something like that, where you can't lose by a field goal on the first possession. I like it better if you have a chance to get the ball, too, and a touchdown wins. I'd rather to go ahead and do it, but I'm not opposed to seeing how out it works out in postseason. I think it'll work out fine."
