Basically turns the 50/50 portion into an actual play rather than a coin toss. But the defense doing their job argument sucks because the Pats just allowed 24 points in a quarter. They would have lost had KC won the toss and we'd be having the same discussion except mostly everyone would love the current OT rules.

I prefer the CFL's overtime format. Mahomes (or any QB for that matter) not seeing the field in OT seems really unfair, even if the defense did allow a major.
