The Kansas City Chiefs are still feeling the effects of their AFC Championship Game loss.

Kansas City lost the contest to the New England Patriots in overtime without getting an offensive possession in the extra frame. The Patriots won the coin toss and marched the length of the field for the deciding touchdown.

As a result, the Chiefs will submit a proposal to change the overtime rules.

"Coach (Andy Reid) is working on that," general manager Brett Veach said on "PFT Live."

"I think everybody wants a chance for guys to do what they do. I don't really see the downside of having that," he said. "Especially when you have a player like Pat Mahomes. It would have been a lot of fun. I think people, if they weren't already tuned in for a great game, would have turned on that overtime."
