NFL正在仔细研究其常规赛的加时赛规则，而变化可能会在2025年。

由于赢得硬币折腾的球队具有明显的优势，联盟的竞争委员会正在考虑将常规赛的加时赛规则与季后赛格式保持一致。

The NFL is taking a fresh look at its regular-season overtime rules, and modifications could be in the works for the 2025 season. As teams that win the coin toss have been observed to hold a substantial advantage, the league’s competition committee is contemplating aligning the regular-season overtime regulations with the postseason format.

NFL正在仔细研究其常规赛的加时赛规则，并且可以在2025赛季进行修改。由于已经观察到赢得硬币的球队具有可观的优势，因此联盟的竞争委员会正在考虑将常规赛的加时赛法规与季后赛格式保持一致。

Overtime Rule Change Under Review

加班规则更改正在审查

Troy Vincent, NFL executive vice president of football operations, confirmed that the league’s competition committee recognizes the need for adjustments to the overtime rules. Currently, in regular-season games, overtime comes to an end when the first team to gain possession manages to score a touchdown. In contrast, postseason overtime guarantees both teams at least one offensive possession.

NFL足球行动执行副总裁特洛伊·文森特（Troy Vincent）确认，联盟的竞争委员会认识到需要调整加时赛规则。目前，在常规赛的比赛中，当第一支获得控球的球队设法得分时，加班就结束了。相比之下，季后赛加班保证了两个球队至少一支进攻。

In 2024, teams that emerged victorious in the overtime coin toss went on to win 12 out of 16 games, boasting a 75% win rate. This statistic has sparked concerns about fairness. On average, only 11.6 plays were made during each overtime period, making it the second-lowest rate in the past two decades. The first-drive touchdown percentage stood at 37.5%, further emphasizing the advantage of receiving the ball first.

2024年，在加时赛硬币折腾中取得胜利的球队在16场比赛中赢得了12次胜利，拥有75％的胜利。该统计数据引发了人们对公平性的关注。平均而言，在每个加时赛期间仅进行了11.6场比赛，这使其成为过去二十年中第二高的速度。第一驱动的达阵百分比为37.5％，进一步强调了首先接球的优势。

“They felt there shouldn’t be a rule for the regular season that’s different from the postseason. They just wanted a consistent rule. Let the guys play,” Vincent said.

“他们认为常规赛不应该有与季后赛不同的规则。他们只是想要一个一致的规则。让伙计们玩。”文森特说。

If approved, the new rule would ensure that both teams have an offensive possession in regular-season overtime, no matter what happens on the first drive. After each team had a chance to score, the game moved to sudden death. Overtime would also return to a full 15-minute period instead of the current 10-minute limit.

如果获得批准，新规则将确保两支球队在常规赛的加时赛中都有进攻性拥有，无论在第一次驾驶中会发生什么。每个球队都有机会得分后，比赛转变为突然死亡。加班时间还将返回整个15分钟的时间，而不是当前的10分钟限制。

According to Vincent, this change would not significantly increase the number of plays.

根据文森特的说法，这种变化不会显着增加比赛的数量。

“We’re not trying to create more plays; we’re trying to create more offense,” he said.

“我们不是要创造更多的戏剧；我们正在努力创造更多的进攻，”他说。

Coaches also felt strongly about aligning the regular-season and postseason overtime rules.

教练们也对统一常规赛和季后赛的加时赛规则感到非常强烈。

“They felt there shouldn’t be a rule for the regular season that’s different from the postseason. They just wanted a consistent rule. Let the guys play,” Vincent said.

“他们认为常规赛不应该有与季后赛不同的规则。他们只是想要一个一致的规则。让伙计们玩。”文森特说。

For this proposal to take effect, at least 24 of the NFL’s 32 owners must approve the change at the Annual League Meeting, scheduled for March 30-April 2 in Palm Beach, Florida.

为了生效的提议，NFL的32名所有者中至少有24个必须在计划于3月30日至4月2日在佛罗里达州棕榈滩举行的年度联盟会议上批准这一变化。

Replay Assistance And Measurement Changes Also On The Table

桌上还重播协助和测量变化

The NFL is also considering expanding replay assistance for certain fouls, but only if those fouls are called on the field. Allowing the league office to intervene with penalty flags is a “nonstarter,” Vincent said.

NFL还正在考虑扩大对某些犯规的重放援助，但前提是在该领域被要求。文森特说，允许联盟办公室干预罚款旗是“非开始者”。

Meanwhile, the NFL plans to introduce Hawk-Eye technology as the primary system for measuring the line to gain in regular-season games starting in 2025. The traditional chain gang will remain on the sidelines as a backup.

同时，NFL计划将鹰眼技术引入，作为衡量2025年正常赛季比赛的线路的主要系统。传统的连锁团伙将作为替补群保留在场。

What’s Next For The NFL?

NFL的下一步是什么？

The competition committee’s recommendations will be discussed during the Annual League Meeting. If the proposed overtime rule change passes, teams must adapt their strategies for handling overtime situations in the regular season. The goal is to ensure a fairer outcome and reduce the coin toss’s impact on determining the game’s winner.

竞争委员会的建议将在年度联盟会议上讨论。如果提议的加时性规则变更通过，则团队必须调整其在常规赛中处理加班情况的策略。目的是确保取得更公平的结果，并减少硬币对确定游戏赢家的影响。

The data clearly shows an increasing advantage for teams winning the toss, so the NFL appears ready to act. The final decision will come down to the owners’ vote in March.

数据清楚地表明，对于赢得比赛的团队来说，越来越多的优势，因此NFL似乎准备好采取行动。最终决定将归结为三月所有者的投票。
