In the NFL it continues... I don't think an NFL game has ever reached a 3rd Quarter in OT. So we really have no clue?

Wasnt sure about, how it continues. So thanks.

And yes there has never been a NFL game with triple OT. Longest game was Fins vs. Chiefs in 71, double OT.

Next question would be, how it is done in GLB? Is it a pattern like Team A - Team B - Team B - Team A (like in the OPs game) or could it be that there are 4 OT periods and one team always gets the ball first?

In an NFL playoff game, if you hit double OT, it's like the end of the quarter, drive continues. At the end of double OT, drive ends - third OT starts with a kickoff (to whoever didn't receive in OT1). And so on - OTs are each treated as quarters, two become a half, for rules interpretation.

Seems like this would be most logical system for glb as well.

My bad, I thought you were upset they didn't rush to the line and spike it. If I'm not mistaken I've seen teams do it faster than 9 seconds. At least you still won unlike a lot of other teams who have got screwed by it.


Faster than 9 seconds after that gain? Seems unreal^^ no...really was about that not existing FG try

Thanks for the explanation.

The USFL had a triple-OT game for one of their championships. There was a (brief) halftime after OT2, and then a kickoff to the team that lost the toss before OT1.

That's where the team in this game got screwed - there shouldn't have been a kickoff after OT1 or OT3, so they should have kept the ball after that completion.
