Buffalo Bills fans, in particular, were ecstatic about the change after their overtime loss last postseason.Nick Fowl was just one Bills fan who voiced their excitement and proclaimed that Josh Allen needs justice after suffering a heartbreaking defeat in January.Nick@NickFowl444NFL changing overtime rules for the playoffs finally….my boy Josh Allen needs his justice12:40 PM · Mar 29, 2022NFL changing overtime rules for the playoffs finally….my boy Josh Allen needs his justiceAnother Bills fan, Kyle Nap, gave credit to Allen for inspiring the rule change as Allen's performance inspired fans to want to see more offense on the field.Kyle Nap@KyleNapsThe NFL literally changed the overtime rules because everyone and their mom wanted to see this guy throw the football more12:50 PM · Mar 29, 2022112The NFL literally changed the overtime rules because everyone and their mom wanted to see this guy throw the football more https://t.co/kLfh1MejSZMany NFL fans felt grateful the league listened to their requests.

Scoring a touchdown won't mean the game is over until the other team has a chance to do the same.In a way, this gives a slight advantage to whoever receives the ball second. They can decide whether they need an extra point or two-point conversion depending on the first team's choice.Whether you're a fan of the new rule or not, there's no question it will give playoff games a new level of strategy.
