Chiefs NFL overtime rules under scrutiny after Chiefs knock out Bills

Alot of people are saying it is the coin toss they find objectionable. They hate that the game is decided on a coin toss, which based on the stats posted a bit ago seems to be somewhat relevant in the playoffs where the great offenses are shooting it out. How about making it a game stat metric like time holding the lead. If you have the lead for most of the game, especially if a team is making a comeback and gets a game tying field goal to go to OT, then why shouldn't the comeback team have to defend first. Seems as fair as any other reason that isn't luck of a coin flip. I can't think of anything in football that would equate to a jump ball and actually be somewhat fair.
