NFL Shortens Regular Season Overtime To 10 Minutes

[RealGM Wiretap]

Owners have approved a rule change to shorten overtime in the regular season from 15 minutes to 10 minutes.

Last season, there were six overtime games in which the extra period lasted more than 10 minutes.

The NFL claims the proposal was made with player safety in mind.

They make safety rule changes every year, and every year the same amount of injuries happen. Stop ruining the game, Goodell. The rules clearly are not working. How often do people get injured in the last 5 minutes of OT? Instead of this pansey ass tie bull, just have them play until somebody scores.
