Executive Rich Mckay said that there is a lot of momentum towards changing the overtime rules. The league will meet next week to discuss such a change and two teams have submitted change proposals. This has become a hot talking point since the Bills lost to the Chiefs in OT on January 23rd.
Mckay also added that the committee has reviewed taunting calls and has discussed some of the controversial decisions. He mentions that the NFL will keep sportsmanship as a priority so we should expect a change when it comes to enforcing this penalty.
Bears linebacker Cassius Marsh was called for taunting for this celebration:
