Coach should be fired before outcome of game. I can't believe they punted. Can not believe it.

I know 10 min OT rule, but if team that gets ball goes 9 min and 59 seconds and kick a FG, does the other team still get a possession? I don’t think that has ever happened, but not sure how that would play out. (In Madden, the other team gets a possession)

Game over.
The official NFL rule seems ambiguous to me: the 2nd bullet point is confusing.

OVERTIME RULES FOR NFL PRESEASON AND REGULAR SEASON
  • At the end of regulation, the referee will toss a coin to determine which team will possess the ball first in overtime. The visiting team captain will call the toss.
  • No more than one 10-minute period will follow a three-minute intermission. Each team must possess, or have the opportunity to possess, the ball. The exception: if the team that gets the ball first scores a touchdown on the opening possession.
  • Sudden death play — where the game ends on any score (safety, field goal or touchdown) — continues until a winner is determined.
  • Each team gets two timeouts.
  • The point after try is not attempted if the game ends on a touchdown.
  • If the score is still tied at the end of the overtime period, the result of the game will be recorded as a tie.
  • There are no instant replay coach’s challenges; all reviews will be initiated by the replay official.

New QB, same Chargers. Almost every time I'm watching them I'm rooting for them and almost every time they lose a game they shouldacoulda won
