There weren't any playoff games that went into overtime so We couldn't see the new rules in action for overtime. Does anyone know what rules are in effect for a tie in the Superbowl?

I believe both teams have to get one possesion of the ball in overtime with the exception of the defense scoring a touchdown on a fumble or interception.
It does setup a lot of different scenarios:
1. If one team is in field goal position and it's short yardage on fourth down. Do you go for the first down or try to score a touchdown?
2. If one team kicks the field goal and the other team scores a touchdown, the touchdown team wins.
3. One team could kick a field goal and then stops the other team on four downs. The field goal team wins.
It would interesting to watch and the new rules drive the coaches crazy with added decisions.
