This Feb. 5 file photo shows NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell during a news conference in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. 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 he finds it "very much worth considering." The 32 team owners are expected to vote on the issue this week at their annual league meetings. AP file photo by David J. Phillip
