INDIANAPOLIS (AP) -- An NFL spokesman says the league could change its overtime format for playoff games at a meeting next month. 

Greg Aiello said Satuday that under the new format, both teams would get the ball at least once unless the first team to get the
ball scores a touchdown. 

If the first team to get the ball makes a field goal and the other team ties the game, action would continue until a team scores
again. 

Under the current rules, the first team to score wins.  The competition committee will discuss the new concept with
teams and players at league meetings March 21-24 in Orlando, Florida, when it could come to a vote. At least two thirds of the teams would need to agree to the changes for new rules to be adopted.
