You can add another question now...

Who is the only team to lose in overtime quicker than it took them to read the rules for for overtime?

Zombo

Would that be The Pittsburgh Steelers?

Nevertheless, I didn't like this stupid rule that applies "Only in the playoffs"....that if a team gets a field goal the other team still gets a chance to have a crack at possessing the ball.

Not that there may be anything wrong with the rule....but have it apply in the regular season as well. You can't have different rules for just the playoffs. That is bogus. Good thing the Broncos scored there.
