Yeah, NFL OT means first points on the board wins it, be it FG, TD, or safety.

Though if times runs out, its a tie.
But a TD is needed for playoff games right?

Both teams guaranteed possession unless team to initially receive scores a td.

So if this was a playoff game, a KC fg would still win it.

I still am not quite clear on the playoff OT.
Playoff OT rule is now silly. It is:

Team receives ball. Team drives. Team scores FG on their first drive. Instead of game being over, other team gets kickoff, gets to try their luck.

That's the only scenario where it's different.

-If first team gets TD on first possession, they win.
-If first team gets FG on first possession, they punt.
-If second team gets TD, they win.​
-If second team gets FG, basically start normal OT then.​

They were trying to eliminate the possibility of a team having a decent return then a first down for the win. They eliminated that shit already by moving the kickoffs up 5 yards.

What they should've done (and still should do) is make sudden death "first to 4 points". Otherwise play the full extra 15 minutes.
