I heard this suggested last week as a way to play OT (as the current system sucks, coin flip winner wins almost 75% of the games).
Team A starts at the 25 yd line, then Team B....you can make 1st downs, but you cannot kick field goals, you must score a TD or turn it over. First team to score a TD with an equal amount of opportunities wins. Wouldn't likely take as long as playing 15 minutes of tied football as the current system dictates, you would have a winner every game, and it wouldnt be a goofy one on one thing like hockey.
Its the same thing Selig got raked over the coals for during that All-Star game fiasco...and rightfully so. This is one area Goodell will have completely changed by the start of next season....along with an extra 2 regular season games and 2 less exhibition games.
Agreed...I have no idea why they would of thought a fumbled lateral should be any different than a fumbled run or catch or hand off or snap.
Pure stupidity and that ref WILL be disciplined as it made the bookies in Vegas profit to the tune of 65 MILLION dollars. I have no doubt that there was nothing untowards going on with the referee in question, but the optics are brutal for a league trying to change their perception about gambling and off-field issues.

HOCKEY!
Hockey can end one way in regular season and another way in the playoffs.
That touchdown idea is interesting but it could make games very long.
I don't like the college football system cause by the time it gets to the 3rd overtime it gets pretty stupid.
I'm glad that Phi-Cin game ended in a tie. No one wanted to extend more of that crap
I saw a stat that there were nearly 1000 yards of punting in the game.
A ref can't be disciplined for something that effected Vegas. Vegas sets a line and people bet on it right? We can't be worrying about what's happening in Vegas everytime we watch a game.
