The problem with it was that with the way the two offenses were playing, it seemed pretty likely the coin flip was going to determine the outcome. Defenses were both a bit gassed. Not taking away anything from KC, but it is a rule that should be changed for playoff football. Hopefully before it winds up deciding a Super Bowl.

I care less about gassed defenses.

But they should simply play 15-minute periods until there’s a winner. Hockey does it. And hockey is as demanding a sport. Formally, hockey does sudden death. But given the paucity of scoring, the expectation is that teams are ready to play a full period and sometimes multiple additional periods until a winner is decided. And those games are the best the sport has to offer.
