But the NFL Competition Committee Chairman Rich - Mackay said the development of the situation shows that in the overtime coin toss by the opportunity to receive their first team offense gained much advantage.

It has brought excitement, and effectively break the tie. From 74 years to 93 years, received the first attack of the right The teams and have not been winning team were 50%, with the passage of time the data changes, the first team to get the right attack on the probability of winning to 59.8%, while the winning team did not receive probability dropped to 38.5%, we are trying to introduce a system of greater emphasis on team skills and strategies, rather than the randomness of coin flip.
