I actually like this one. Yes the coin flip is tradition and all but home field advantage should give more “advantage”. Hell even visitors get to call the coin flip….what is that?

They could still do the coin flip but it only determines which side of the field you start at. So for example….Chiefs are at arrowhead playing Raiders. Chiefs decide they want to defer but captains still go out for the coin flip to determine which side of the field the winner of the coin flip wants. Could actually make still a difference if wind is crazy.

This would give more meaning to home field advantage and could make playoff push’s for home field even more important to teams.
