Super Bowl LVIII is in overtime, and that makes this the first Super Bowl played under the NFL's new playoff overtime rules.In the playoffs, both teams are guaranteed a possession. Even if the team that receives the overtime kickoff scores a touchdown, that team will then kick off and the other team will have a chance to score a touchdown of its own.Unlike regular-season overtime, postseason overtime uses 15-minute quarters, and is played like a whole new game. That includes a halftime if the game remains tied after the second overtime, which has never happened in NFL history. There won't be a second Usher performance, however: The overtime halftime is a short one.One previous Super Bowl has gone into overtime, when the Patriots came from behind and beat the Falcons. In that game, the Patriots scored a touchdown on the first possession to end the game. In this game, even if a touchdown is scored on the first possession of overtime, the game will continue.
