6:59 a.m.: The NFL owners voted to approve a new rule in which both teams will possess the ball in overtime during the regular season as well as in the playoffs.
As expected, NFL owners passed the rule making playoff overtime rules apply to regular season, too. Both teams get to possess the ball. But the rule was amended to make OT 10 minutes, not 15.
