Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning led his team to a stunning comeback in Seattle on Sunday, tying a game at the last minute after he appeared to be lost. Then Manning made a mistake that cost his team the game: He called tails.
After the Broncos lost the coin toss overtime, Manning could do nothing but stand on the sidelines and watch as Russell Wilson led the Seahawks in the field to a touchdown in the victory. After finishing the fourth quarter with a touchdown pass and pass two-point conversion, Manning never touched the ball in overtime.
As Manning said after this draw loomed large.
"A premium on the coin toss Turns," Manning said. "I called the queues at the beginning of the game, and I went with him again in OT. It was heads, and proved to be an important call. But that's the way it is. And you want to leave this, leave it for become so. "
For years, the NFL overtime sudden death was true with the first team to score winning. The new rules make the launch of the slightly less important currency as a team can not win with a field goal on the first possession. But the coin toss is still important. Some fans prefer the format of the university, where teams alternate possessions from the 25-yard line, but winning the toss subjects in college, too, since it is advantageous to win the lottery, play defense and then know on the ensuing possession when play Reasons a field goal or a touchdown if necessary. A rule of overtime auction where the teams will "bid" on a yard line to start the overtime, could eliminate the coin toss, but has never really caught on.
