I posted this in another thread - but I've had this idea since even the new OT rules came out:
If the first team to touch the ball scores, the second team gets one chance to beat (not tie) that score. So if the first team gets a FG, second team has to score a TD. First team gets a TD, second team has to get a TD and go for 2.
If the first team has the balls to get a TD+2, they win. But if they miss they'd leave themselves open to losing to a TD+1. So I doubt most teams do it.
Imagine how exciting for fans and everyone else if Mahomes had the ball last night with a chance to score a TD+2 to win the game.
Otherwise if the first team doesn't score it's sudden death - same as now.
