It used to be that you would get the win with any scoring play on the first drive, and then it changed to each team having at least one drive, to the current system where you can win on the first drive with a touchdown.

Ok. I thought so.  I greatly prefer the each gets one drive rule.  Doesn't seem right for both teams to have the exact same score, yet there's a chance that one team doesn't even get a chance with the ball.  If the Falcons had gotten a drive, too, but were denied by the Patriots, it wouldn't feel so cheap.

I just find it annoying how it's sudden death. What is this, Smash bros? 

 

I don't think any other team does sudden death, and for a good reason- anything can happen in an additional quarter. It could've been sent to OT2- heck, maybe the patriots would've made an additional 30 points. You never know. 

I find it funny how I care more about the OT rule than the actual game. I would've loved to see an additional quarter of them going at it, regardless of who would end up ending.
