ORLANDO, FLA. (AP) -- NFL commissioner Roger Goodell likes the proposal to modify overtime in the playoffs. 

The competition committee recommends that a team surrendering a field goal on the first possession should have a series of its own in OT. Goodell says the idea "stays true to the integrity of the game" and finds it "very much worth considering." 

The 32 team owners are expected to vote on the issue this week at their annual league meetings. It would need 24 votes for
approval. 

Goodell believes the concept of sudden death should be kept, and the proposal does that because a team winning the coin toss and scoring a touchdown right away would win. Should that team not score, sudden death ensues anyway.
