8 EXTRA TIME IN THE POSTSEASON: The playoffs have featured at least one overtime game in 14 of the past 17 postseasons. Last year, the New England Patriots defeated the Atlanta Falcons in Super Bowl LI, the first Super Bowl in history to be decided in overtime. In 2010, the NFL adopted a modified sudden-death system for the playoffs, which was expanded to cover all NFL games in The system guarantees each team a possession or the opportunity to possess, unless the team that receives the opening kickoff 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.
