In 5 overtime games, 3 teams have chosen to kick, 2 have chosen to receive

NFL coaches continue to show mixed preferences regarding overtime strategy during the league's second season featuring guaranteed possessions. Across five extra-session contests this year, three coin-toss winners opted to defer while two chose to receive the ball.

Sunday's slate highlighted contrasting tactics when Washington Commanders leader Dan Quinn elected to kick, resulting in a deadlock against the New York Giants. Meanwhile, Baltimore Ravens strategist Jesse Minter chose possession after winning the coin toss, leaning on internal analytics and Derrick Henry's rushing workload to defeat the Atlanta Falcons.

Earlier in the season, Aaron Glenn, Shane Steichen, and Kellen Moore made varied overtime choices for their respective franchises.
