Each team must possess or have the opportunity to pos- sess the ball unless the team that has the ball first scores a touch- down on its initial possession. Play continues in sudden death until a winner is determined, and the game automatically ends upon any score (by safety, field goal, or touchdown) or when a score is awarded by Referee for a palpably unfair act. Each team has three timeouts per half and all general timing provisions apply as during a regular game. Try is not attempted if touchdown scored. Disquali- fied players are not allowed to return. • Instant Replay: No challenges. Reviews to be initiated by the replay official. KEY DEFINITIONS Possession: Actual possession of the ball with complete control. The defense gains possession when it catches, intercepts, or recovers a loose ball. Opportunity to possess: The opportunity to possess occurs only during kicking plays. A kickoff is an opportunity to possess for the re- ceiving team. If the kicking team legally recovers the kick, the receiv- ing team is considered to have had its opportunity. A punt or a field goal that crosses the line of scrimmage and is muffed by the receiving team is considered to be an opportunity to possess for the receivers. Normal touching rules by the kicking team apply. 3 4 Wild Card Playoffs 5 WILD CARD PLAYOFFS AFC WILD CARD PLAYOFF GAMES Season Date Winner (Share) Loser (Share) Score Site Attendance 2018 Jan. 6 L.A.
