The Ravens are tireless and creative in their pursuit of improvement, and that also extends to the NFL’s rules.
Here are the proposals the Ravens are involved with:
To review, Baltimore’s plan would have no kickoff at the start of overtime. Instead, one team would pick what yard line play would begin at and the other team would choose whether to play offense or defense. As outlined above, there are two proposals, one with the winner determined by sudden death (first team to score) and the other with a full 7 ½-minute period to see which team finishes with the most points.
The other wrinkle in one of the Ravens’ proposals is the elimination of overtime in the preseason, which seems like a no-brainer considering deciding a winner isn’t all that important.
