Football Rules Committee recommends tweak to overtime rules

Might just want to spend less time on each review. Do we need two minutes to know conclusively that the knee was down?

I say give coaches 3 or 4 challenges and when they are out of challenges the play stands as called.

I like it. But I would worry that near the ends of half’s or end of games coaches would just use up their challenges because they can.

Make it a 15 yard penalty if you lose challenge in last few minutes. Sure would make a coach think twice before just challenging because he can.

I like the college OT rules over NFL but stats in the pro game get you paid so they can’t do the college rules.

The change I would make its start the possession in OT to the 50 yard line instead of the 25.
Make the teams drive half the field.
It would reduce the amount of OTs.

If you can’t drive the ball 15 yards you won’t even get a FG attempt and the second team could just play for a FG.
