Yes, NFL overtime rules are different in the playoffs.

In the playoffs, the NFL overtime rules are different than during the regular season. During the regular season, if the score is tied at the end of regulation, each team gets one possession to score. If both teams are still tied after each team has had one possession, then the game ends in a tie. However, in the playoffs, if the score is tied at the end of regulation, each team gets one possession to score. If both teams are still tied after each team has had one possession, then

The first team to score in overtime wins the game. The rules are different in the playoffs to prevent tied games because tied games are not as exciting as games where one team wins.

In the regular season, each team gets one possession. In the playoffs, each team gets two possessions.

In the National Football League (NFL), overtime is a method of extending the game to break a tie between two teams. Normally, each team has the opportunity to possess the ball, but if both teams score touchdowns, or field goals on their initial drive, then a second overtime period is played. The NFL overtime rules are different for the regular season and the playoffs.

In the regular season, each team gets one possession. If, during that possession, the team scores a touchdown, or kicks a field goal, then it wins the game; if it fails to score, then the other team gets a chance to score on its possession. If both teams fail to score on their initial drive, then each team gets another chance: whichever team scores first wins. If neither team scores after both have had two possessions each (a total of four), then the game ends in a tie.

In the playoffs, each team gets two possessions. If both teams score touchdowns on their first drive, or if both teams kick field goals on their first drive, then they go to sudden death: whichever team scores next wins. If one team kicks a field goal and the other team fails to score on its first drive, then the first team wins; if one team scores a touchdown and the other team fails to score on its first drive or kicks a field goal on its second drive (after getting stopped on downs), then the first team wins.

If the score is still tied after each team has had two possessions, the game goes into sudden death.

In sudden death, the first team to score on any possession wins the game. This includes scoring a touchdown, field goal or safety. If neither team scores on its first possession in overtime, the game continues until one team does.

In the regular season, if the score is still tied at the end of overtime, the game ends in a tie. In the playoffs, however, there are no ties and the game goes into sudden death if it’s still tied after each team has had two possessions.

In sudden death, the first team to score wins the game.

Sudden death is a method of resolving a game where one team must score to win, and the other team cannot score to win. This can happen in several sports, most commonly football and hockey. In football, if the score is tied at the end of regulation, the teams will play an extra period (or periods) until one team scores. The team that scores first in sudden death wins the game.

In hockey, if the score is tied at the end of regulation, each team will have a chance to score in overtime. Each team will get one shot on goal, and the first team to score wins the game.

NFL overtime rules are different in the playoffs than they are during the regular season. In the playoffs, each team gets a chance to possess the ball on offense, and there is no sudden death. The first team to score on offense wins the game.
