NFL overtime rules won't change [for 2009-2010]

The only change I'd like to see is the sudden death not being used if the first team scores a field goal. Fine to end on a TD though. If the team kicks a FG the other team gets the ball and they have a chance to tie or win with a TD. If they do tie it up then it goes back to sudden death on any score.

If they want to settle more games in regulation play, they could eliminate 2 pt. tries, which are used much more to create ties than break them.

speaking on a national conference call, said there will be no adjustment to the current overtime rules. The committee met for 10 days in Naples, Fla., and, after consulting players and conducting a league-wide survey from the 32 clubs, there wasn't enough support to make any proposal to change the current overtime rules, which were created to minimize the chance of ties.
