Social Media Goes Wild After Buffalo’s Overtime Loss To Kansas City
The NFL overtime rules got a tongue lashing!
The Kansas City Chiefs moved on in the NFL playoffs yesterday. They beat the Buffalo Bills in overtime. Most Buffalo fans are not happy about the ending. I can’t say I blame them.
The NFL has a messed-up overtime rule that says if the team with possession first scores a touchdown, then it is the winner. The Chiefs won the toss and scored a TD. Game over. The Bills never even got the ball.
According to Fox News, NFL fans watching the game spoke out on social media demanding a rule change, especially since Allen had four touchdown passes and was denied a rebuttal due to the overtime rules.

The overtime rule for playoff games must change. If this one doesn’t spark a more fair approach nothing ever will.

The overtime rules stink though. Both offenses should have a chance to compete!

Time we re-examine the @NFL overtime rules. Josh Allen threw for 329 yards and 4 touchdowns, he scored on 3 of his final 4 possessions and never touched the ball in overtime. #Bills
