Ref is like, "um, what the fuck are the rules again?"

 

[TheLegendary]

TEBOW

 

[CrunchyFrog]

So in OT, first team possession cannot win on a FG. If it a FG, other team gets a chance at possession. If second FG is made, then it goes to SD. if either team makes TD then the game is over.

 

[TheFatOne]

Ohh shit I didn't know that part of the new rules. So the if the first team scores a TD the game is over.

 

[Levyne]

REf doesn't even know the rule.

Wait, I thought he said it right?

 

[Dutch Gronk]

What if they kick a FG on the first drive and the other team gets stopped? Game over?

I think so.

 

[NomarTyme]

Tails never fails... god changed that!

I think so.

100% certain. Or a FG would be worthless.

 

[Nobility]

Tebow influenced the coin toss.

 

[weekend_warrior]

Heads never wins! It's an act of God I say!!!

 

[slit]

You always call heads dummy!

 

[Narag]

What if they kick a FG on the first drive and the other team gets stopped? Game over?

Believe so.

 

[Bread]

this is awesome, this OT will be intense.

 

[jacket320]

Decent explanation by the official there under pressure

 

[Tunavi]

God made it heads.

lol

 

[Skiesofwonder]

Wait so if Denver scores a TD here it is still over?

 

[ConradCervantes]

OHHHH SHIT TEBOW BE GUNNING FOR THE KILLSHOT.

 

[Nori Chan]

i love head


leegggooo mile high messiah

 

[KaYotiX]

i dont think this ref even knows the OT rules...

Been almost 2 years since it was put in lol, I don't blame him

 

[TheKaeptain]

Tebow is going to win the coin toss

You're a prophet

 

[goldlion054]

Time to see who is more Youngry!

 

[Dragon]

Wait so if Denver scores a TD here it is still over?

yes.

 

[Trey]

I swear Farrior just winked at the camera when they won the toss.

 

[Drakken]

Woooo! So excited for overtime.

 

[Alligatorjandro]

TEBOW IS MY BROSEPH!!!!

 

[Sviatoslav]

So tebow drives them down for a field goal, then the rapist does the same and suisham suishams it. Let god's will be done.

 

[Miroku]

they shoulda tried for the field goal.

 

[Rayven]

This is all very entertaining, but I can't see either of these teams advancing next week.

agreed.

 

[ThisWreckage]

If they're going to do these rules, they should extend this to the regular season.

 

[Godslay]

This is life. Win or lose what a game.

 

[friskykillface]

Haha watch they score a TD on the kickoff

 

[darkside31337]

Steelers really should onside kick here.

 

[Spectral Glider]

Surprise onside incoming!

 

[MightyHealthy]

Doesn't matter who wind new OT rules

TD still wins the game...toss still matters.

 

[NewLib]

I really hope this OT rule is just a stopgate until they implement the college OT rules in a few years (Maybe push the team back to starting at the 40 yard line).

 

[Seda]

The ref got the rules right. Spoke it decently well too

 

[xxxstylzxxx]

I approve of the new OT rules.

 

[TheLegendary]

You're a prophet

What can I say. I've watched over 25 years of football.

Even though I'm only 23

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

if denver scores a td, the game is over.
if denver scores a fg, then pittsburgh has a chance to tie or win.
after denver scores a fg, if pittsburgh scores a fg, the game then reverts to a sudden death (old school NFL ot rules)
after denver scores a fg, if pittsburgh scores a TD, the game is over

 

[Levyne]

Yes the ONLY thing that changes is that the first team cannot kick a fg to win. Everything else is exactly as it was.

I'm not sure why one would even attempt a fg on the first drive now. Just go for the TD or punt.

 

[Ultratech]

And Denver receives...(with wonky OT rules in effect)

Will we witness another Miracle of Tebow?

 

[KaYotiX]

What can I say. I've watched over 25 years of football.

Even though I'm only 23

I'm 31 I'll give you some of my years lol

 

[brentech]

If on the kick-off they had a Pat Lee-esqe saftey, the Steelers would win. An all time classic

 

[neoemonk]

I guess I owe an apology to Broncos fans everywhere. They did way better than I thought they would regardless of what happens here.

 

[smokeymicpot]

I approve of the new OT rules.

I do too. Especially since Vikings lost to the Saints because of a bullshit field goal.

 

[Bowser]

if denver scores a td, the game is over.
if denver scores a fg, then pittsburgh has a chance to tie or win.
after denver scores a fg, if pittsburgh scores a fg, the game then reverts to a sudden death (old school NFL ot rules)
after denver scores a fg, if pittsburgh scores a TD, the game is over

if Tebow throws a TAINT, game over

 

[HowardRoark]

I swear Farrior just winked at the camera when they won the toss.

I saw it too. He knows the Rooneys already have this game bought and paid for.

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

I really hope this OT rule is just a stopgate until they implement the college OT rules in a few years (Maybe push the team back to starting at the 40 yard line).

god no. college OT rules fucking suck

 

[Dutch Gronk]

Surprise onside incoming!

When they onside kick, do they still deserve to get the ball if the Broncos just scores a field goal?

 

[Owzers]

This is life. Win or lose what a game.

No! If Denver loses it must haunt you for weeks/months.

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Elway got that good luck chap stick.
