True, but didn’t they change the rules that even if you receive the kickoff in overtime and score a touchdown that the other team still has a possession to do the same, unless the defense scores a TD and then the game would be over?
Might want to check that, there were new rules for 2024…receiving team can still get a TD on the first possession and the other would team would still get a possession…

Both teams get to have the ball in the new SB PO rules regardless if the team who receives the ball first scores a TD.
Now if the first team to receive the ball throws a pick 6 or gets a safety against them, then the game is over.

Or if the second team to possess after any points cant at least tie the game the firat scorer wins, yes

Hmmm. Missed that. Thanks for correcting.
OT says you can't win by a field goal on first possession, only a TD.
Nope. Even with a TD the other team still gets a shot at possession. Recent rule change.
That's a good change; else you have games and even championships essentially decided by the coin toss.
