A Couple of Better Rules

I like two of the rule changes approved by the owners at the league meeting. Teams will no longer need to waste a timeout disputing a turnover. There will be a mandatory review which will be done up in the booth by an official. It shouldn't add nay time to the game because time is used when the referee walks to the on-field reviewing booth. Teams have been in situations where they could have made a challenge, but didn't have any left. I think this will keep things consistent among all teams.

I also like the new overtime rule. They will be the same as those used in the playoffs last season. Each team will be guaranteed at least one possession unless the first team scores a touchdown on their initial try.

This will eliminate the luck of the coin toss and the team marching down for a field goal. I have always felt that both teams deserve at least one possession to win the game by at least a field goal.

I have no problem with the defending team being forced to keep the other one from scoring a touchdown and winning the game. I think it will make games more competitive.
