What are the NFL overtime rules for the Super Bowl?

Overtime rules are a bit different for the Super Bowl this year

It’s that time of year, folks. The Super Bowl is here. And, with both the Eagles and the Chiefs being the two best teams in the league, there’s a strong chance this game will probably be close.

If it is a close game, that means we could get overtime. What that used to mean in the playoffs is that the team who scored first wins the game in the sudden death period.

Guess what? Not. Anymore.

Thanks to last year’s ridiculous Buffalo Bills and Kansas City Chiefs gamethe NFL changed the rules so that both teams will have a chance to touch the ball, should they get to overtime.

I know that might sound a bit confusing. If it is, don’t worry. Here’s a quick explainer on how it works.
