How would you change the overtime rules?

Gil Brandt on NFL radio brought up an interesting possibility to NFL overtime today, however I missed part of it. The basic gist was -- make teams score 6 points to win. I'm not sure if it was the first to 6 or win by 6, etc. But the idea is interesting. If a team elects to receive, they have to score a TD on that possession to win the game. A fiend goal won't win the game. It puts pressure on both teams -- personally, I like the idea. The league is slanted towards offenses now days, and one long completion (or PI penalty) puts the other team in FG range.
