Guarantee none of this is even an issue if the Chiefs opposing QB in OT in this instance were like a Baker Mayfield, Tannehill, Drew Lock. Then it would be "well, they should've stopped Mahomes in OT"
it's only an issue because fans want to see some sort of Shoot out in an extra period between 2 stud QBs; against a phase of an opposing team who is likely cashed/exhausted anyway.
OT rules are fine the way they are. Even with what Brandt proposes by adding an entire period.....you'll still have blowback when a team like the Titans wins the toss, and goes on an 8+ minute drive; then people will bitch that the opposing team didn't have much of a chance. OR, they'll say "well, they should've played better defense if they wanted the ball with more time on the clock".
....which is the exact same reason why the OT rules are fine as they are. Bills only had to force a FG to get the ball back and they didn't get it done.
It's just the media doing media things. Creating an 'issue' or topic to discuss ad nauseam
for days upon days on all their debate shows.
