At halftime the Broncos were ahead of the Steelers by 11 points. The Steelers hadst very impressive 2nd half and by the end of the 4th quarter the score was tied 23–23. They went into overtime. In regular season games, the first team to score would win. Although, this was not a regular season game, it was a playoff game and the rules for overtime change.
The new rules are as followed:
The new rules are as followed:
- At the end of regulation time, the Referee will immediately toss a coin at the center of the field.
- Following a three-minute intermission after the end of the regulation game, play will be continued in 15-minute periods until a winner is declared.
- Each team must possess or have the opportunity to possess the ball unless the team that has the ball first scores a touchdown on its initial possession.
- Play continues in sudden death until a winner is determined, and the game automatically ends upon any score (by safety, field goal, or touchdown) or when a score is awarded by the Referee for a palpably unfair act.
Many people would think that both the Broncos and the Steelers would get a chance to win the game, but on the Bronco's 1st possession, Tim Tebow throws a touchdown pass to Demaryius Thomas. He runs it for over 40 yards and runs it into the end zone. This touchdown ends the game because the Broncos scored before the Steelers ever touched the ball. It was an awesome game, but I never thought that it would be over so quickly. The Broncos will advance in the playoffs and will face the New England Patriots next weekend.
