And no one talked or thought about overtime?
Or knows the rules?

Especially the first half when it looked like OT was possible with the scores so close.
Even I wondered about the game ending in OT during the 2nd quarter and asked a family member about it.

And I don't make a gazillion dollars from the NFL to know this stuff.
