How A 10-Minute Overtime Could Work In NFL Without Any Major Issues

Get ready for more ties in the NFL. Get ready for the NFL standings to look like soccer and hockey standings. Get ready for playoff tiebreakers to be even more head-spinning than they already are.

NFL owners are likely to reduce overtime from 15 minutes to 10 minutes.
