THE NFL has implemented new overtime rules for the Super Bowl.
For this year's Super Bowl, the overtime rules are being adjusted to allow both teams a chance to score before the game ends.

If the score remains tied after both teams have gotten a chance, the game will go to sudden death and the next score wins.
However, if the team kicking off scores a safety on the opening drive, the kicking team is named the winner.
The previous rules worked on a sudden death system, where if the opening team scored a touchdown on the first drive, the game would be over.
However, if they only scored a field goal the other team would be allowed a chance to score.
