That goes for the Super Bowl, too, even though an OT has never been needed in any of the previous 50 games. From the NFL, here’s what happens in OT in the playoffs:“The modified system of determining the winner shall prevail when the score is tied at the end of regulation for postseason NFL games. Each team has three timeouts per half and all general timing provisions apply as during a regular-season game. If the game goes to a third overtime, there is no intermission, but there is another coin toss and timeouts reset. We’ll get back to you if the score remains tied after four overtimes.
