OverTime History

I can't remember the last time we had two overtime games in 1 CFL season. But look Ma, the Riders had back to back OTs, and they lost them both. What's the chances of that happening Ma?

 

Do the Riders lack courage or wisdom Ma, being spooked about their short yardage team, gambling when they should have kicked and then kicking when they should have gambled....

 

Great entertainment this CFL!

 

When was the last time we had this kind of excitement?

When overtime was introduced in 2000, they had a loser point for teams that made it to OT but lost. It encouraged teams to play for ties and try to get a bonus point in OT. That year 7 games went to OT, with 2 ending tied and Hamilton losing two games in overtime that year. It was worse in 2002, when 8 games went into OT and 3 teams (Calgary, Saskatchewan and Ottawa) each had 2 OT losses. The loser point was scrapped the next year. Don't recall a team losing 2 consecutive games in OT though, but it may have happened.
