The Chiefs actually did try to change the overtime rule in 2019, giving both teams the opportunity to have the ball regardless if the team that won the coin toss scored on its initial possession.
Here's the full proposal:
Allow both teams the opportunity to possess the ball at least one time in overtime, even if the first team to possess the ball in overtime scores a touchdown.
Eliminate overtime for preseason
Eliminate overtime coin toss so that winner of initial coin toss to begin game may choose whether to kick or receive, or which goal to defend.
The proposal was not adopted and wasn't even taken to a vote, 24 of 32 owners would have to vote "yes" for an overtime rule to be changed.
