There are plenty of examples of a team never getting to possess the ball in OT. That's how the rule was designed. Why now is it unfair? Josh Allen was seriously the last straw for them?
No, I'm not saying the NFL is deliberately out to get KC. I'm saying they're a bunch of wishy washy morons who allow singular events to sway their principles, completely ignoring the spirit of the rules they wrote in the first place.
The whole point of sudden death OT was to keep OT as short as possible and try to prevent ties. Those are good priorities to keep for the rule. It got a little TOO arbitrary when high powered offenses can just kick a field goal, though, so they went to the TD on first possession model. Keeps things more fair and still tries to limit ties and long OT periods. Now just because Joshy boy sucks at calling coin tosses, they're going to say, "**** it. Play as long as you want. Get good tired and injured! Both QBs get the ball!" One event completely changed their priorities for determining OT. And that shit happens all the time with the league.

I can't believe there are Chiefs fans that need this explained to them.
