Well, you have to understand, it took over 3 quarters for a football game to emerge. ---

You know I love stats. How many SuperBowl games have gone into overtime? ---

Not to take anything away from special teams (which have been decent), but very few “greatest all-time football games” use the phrase “it was a real kickers battle”. ---

Such an odd game. New overtime rules this time, each team will have a chance at ball possession. ---

Hmm question. No NFL game has gone 7 quarters. Would they have a 12-15 min. “2nd halftime” after the 6th quarter? Everybody would be dragging by then and need the rest. ---

I didn’t budge snacks for OT. Hmmm… gummy bears and pickles it is! ---

> [@John\_DiFool](#): > > No NFL game has gone 7 quarters. If it gets to the 7th quarter, the game enters multiball mode. If they make it to the 8th, the instructions for what happens next are contained in a red envelope that was hand-sealed by Jim Thorpe in 1921 and has never been opened since. If they make it to the 9th, they release a manticore onto the field. ---
