Quick Thought on Overtime

Doesn't it seem like we are shaping up for an overtime game in the Super Bowl?  After changing the sudden death format of overtime in the playoffs, there hasn't been a single game go past regulation.  With just three games left, fate might give us a chance to judge the new rules in the Super Bowl.

I do like the fact a single field goal won't abruptly end the game, but there are scenarios that could cause quite a problem in how you officiate them.  What happens if Team A kicks a field goal, and Team B turns the ball over on their possession but forces a fumble and gets the ball back after Team A possesses it again?  Is the game still over in favor of Team A?  It is a change of possession even though Team B got the ball back.  What if Team B converts the double turnover into a touchdown?  How about starting overtime with an onside kick?  Is there a penalty for an unsuccessful attempt?

I'm sure there are explanations of some of the stranger possible outcomes, but the fans (who the rule was changed for) won't necessarily understand what the outcome is or why.  How much of a blow would it be to see your team lose the Super Bowl in overtime, and not even understand it?  It seems too unbelievable that the league would make this change and not have it come into play.  If fate has a sense of humor, we will see overtime in the Super Bowl.
