I caught the last few minutes of the 4th quarter and the entire overtime on HDNet. It was definitely a strange experience. Multiple men in motion, moving forward at the snap, only 3 downs, a _huge_ endzone, and the goal posts on the goalline.
Not to mention mechanics. In the overtime I saw one official on the sidelines in the middle of the endzone. I'm not exactly sure what the mechanics are, but I thought he'd be either at the goalline or the endline. Also, on a goalline play, the umpire (if that's what he is called) was lined up nearly on the goalline, outside the defensive end. He signalled touchdown himself. Also the signals used for penalties are different. I think I remember the signal for pass interference looking like our illegal motion.
And a couple more minor differences. The R wears a black hat with white piping, and the other wear white hats with black piping. And their flags look more orange than yellow.
