ORLANDO, FLA. -- Vikings owner Zygi Wilf said this morning he is not in favor of changing the NFL's overtime rule for the playoffs and made it clear he will not vote for it on Wednesday at the NFL owners meetings.

The NFL's Competition Committee passed a proposal that would mean the team that wins the opening toss could not win the game on a field goal on its opening drive. Instead, the other team would get a series to try to either tie the score on a field goal -- forcing what would then become sudden death -- or win by scoring a touchdown. It needs 24 "yes" votes from the owners for it to pass.

The Vikings lost to the Saints on the opening drive of overtime in the NFC title game so many have thought the Vikings would support the potential change.

"I like to stick to the tradition of the game and beyond that I think from the standpoint of fairness and safety and, most important, consistency, to have a system that goes from the regular season to the postseason, you want to have the same rules," Wilf said. "We would not be for this proposal."

Wilf does have his own idea but made it clear he hasn't suggested this to the NFL. Wilf's idea is that the winner of the coin toss would get the ball on its own 20 and then have a chance to win on either a field goal or touchdown with the sudden death system still in place. This would eliminate the overtime kickoff.

"Kickoffs generally split first half, second half, but I think there shouldn't be an advantage at that point [overtime]," Wilf said. "Sudden death should be there."

Asked if he thought it was unfair the Vikings lost to the Saints without ever touching the ball, Wilf said: "I'm OK with it. It's unfortunate the outcome as you know, but that's why I I think we feel very strong to keep the tradition of sudden death as part of [the game]."

Wilf did mention the Vikings lost cornerback Cedric Griffin to an ACL injury on the overtime kickoff of the NFC title game.
