This will be the second postseason that the modified playoff overtime rules will be in effect, although none of the games during the previous postseason ended up going into the extra session. Under these rules, instead of a straight sudden death, the game will not immediately end if the team that wins the coin toss only scores a field goal on its first possession (the game will end if they score a touchdown). Instead, the other team gets a possession. If the coin toss loser then scores a touchdown, it is declared the winner. If the score is tied after both teams had a possession, then it goes back to sudden death.The Houston Texans and Detroit Lions broke two of the three longest active playoff droughts in the NFL heading into the 2011-12 playoffs, each clinching a playoff spot for the first time in at least a decade. It will be the first playoff appearance in the Texans' history, and the first for the Lions since 1999. The Buffalo Bills, who have been eliminated from playoff contention for the twelfth straight year, will be the only team yet to make the playoffs in the 21st Century.
