Behind The Scoreboard
By Claude Vinson

Interesting weekend in NFL

I am not going to be trite by using the old cliché, “This was the week(end) that was,” but the NFL got a chance to try out its latest new rule. The “sudden death” overtime has met a, well, sudden death. Now each team has an opportunity to score.
