Rule Changes

The NFL is looking into changing the rules that take place during "overtime".  They considering on changing the rules that you can win on kicking a field goal instead of trying to get a touchdown. If the rule was changed it would be called "sudden death" The point of it is to prevent a team from winning on a long field goal without giving the other team a possession. The rule change would have to be changed it would have to be approved by at like 24 of the 32 team owners.

    • Part of the first sentence is poorly worded: "the rules take place during overtime". No. The rules govern overtime.
    • NFL is not a "they" but an "it". Singular not plural.
    • Missing period after "death".
    • Poorly worded: "The rule change would have to be changed..."
    • By at like?
