00:00Think the game's over when the fourth quarter ends? Not in the NFL. Here's how it works.
00:05If the game's tied after four quarters, we flip a coin. The winner chooses to get the ball first
00:10or kick off. Overtime is one 10-minute period in the regular season. Each team gets a shot to have
00:16the ball, unless the first team scores a touchdown or the defense scores. If it's a touchdown to
00:21start, game over. Field goal, the other team gets their chance. If no one scores or it's still tied
00:27when the clock runs out, the game ends in a tie, unless it's the playoffs. Then, overtime keeps
00:32going until someone wins. So, next time overtime hits, you'll know the rules, and just how high
00:38the stakes are.
