You don't have to look farther then the game before that also went to OT. The Rams defense came up big against a powerhouse offense, and the Rams went on to win it. Coin flip simply starts OT.

In a way I agree, but as the game goes on, it favors the offense. A tired defense isn't going to stop a tired offense.

Time of Possession:

NE- 43:59

KC- 20:53


That coin flip means a lot in this situation.
