Patriots win another playoff OT coin toss, spark questions about fairness of NFL rules

Didn't they recently change the OT rules by forcing the team with first possession to score a TD instead of just a FG to end the game? What else would you suggest?


Also from that Yahoo article.

There’s no perfect solution to deciding overtime football games in a fair manner. But a rule that doesn’t give both teams an equal chance to possess the ball in a win-or-go-home situation is not the correct one.

Thing is both teams did have an equal chance to possess the ball. That is what the coin toss is all about.
