Due to the background in complicated games like Buffalo Bills vs. Kansas City chiefs in the divisional round of the playoffs last year, the nfl approved a new rule regarding overtime in postseason games.
Starting with the start of the Wild Card Round of the 2022 playoffs with the matchup between the Seattle Seahawks and the San Francisco 49ers, both teams are assured of possession if the game needs overtime to determine the winner.
If the two franchises score touchdowns at their first opportunity, the game will become a sudden death where the one who gets points first in any way (safety, field goal, touchdown) will emerge victorious.
The game can end if both teams score a touchdown, but the second team tries and achieves a two-point conversion.
