The coin toss did not determine the winner/loser.

That doesn't mean there's not a better way to do it though.

No one has come up with a better solution that has some level of sudden death. There is nothing wrong with this OT format, just complainers that want fairness over core competence.

The problem in my eyes is, that in the past couple of years about every rule change benefitted the offense.

Yes, the Bills should have won in regulation and I won´t make a case for this game - or will I?

If you have games with mediocre offenses, the overtime is okay. Not great, but okay.

But there are some teams in this league, Chiefs, Bills, in normal form Bucs or Packers, too - when they win the coin toss you´re 80% sure they won the game.

Everyone (I obviously exaggerate) wants to see high octane offenses. Games that end 10:7 because of a great defenses are often called "boring".

Wanting more offense offense offense and then saying "you need to be able to play great defense in overtime" is, in my humble opinion, a case of "I want to have the cake and eat it"
