I think the NFL has got this wrong, it is better then it used to be but games like KC - NE where Mahomes didn't touch the ball in OT is just not right. I am a believer in stopping the team on D but in todays NFL where offenses take charge and you get 2 offenses who put up a lot of points - like KC and NE - it was always going to come down to who got the ball first, neither were going to be stopped IMO.
First of all I would just play a ten minute quarter. In soccer's ET or NBA's OT they just play the quarter out, I don't understand why the NFL has to complicate things. Just let a natural 10 minute quarter play out.
If it is still tied...... and no-one wants to see a tie then let the kickers decide the game. That means no extra miles in the legs of players and no potential injuries, kickers are important members of the team and it would bring excitement.
I would let each kicker have 3 kicks from the 50.... 1 each side and center of the hash mark....... the most successful kicks win and if it is tied then it goes to a 1 kick each sudden death. I think this would be exciting to watch as well.
