I like what you say here. Maybe the NFL should go with the rules of the old WLAF. Basically you need to take a 6 point lead to trigger "sudden death". So if the team that receives the kickoff gets a TD, they win. But if they get a FG, then it would still be a valuable 3 points, but play continues until someone takes a 6 point lead or time runs out.I was talking about this the other week with a college football fan which was worthwhile as they're different.
My conclusion :
Keep as is. But the first team posessing the ball needs to score a TD to win. That would make it far tougher to win on the first posession and may even result in teams choosing to kickoff. In case I wasn't clear enough, once the non receiving team gets the ball, a FG could then win it.
That would work too but I think the NFL wants O.T. to be fairly short which is why I stick with a one score wins concept.I like what you say here.

First team to six, and I've been saying that for a couple years now, so it's got nothing to do with yesterday's game for me.
1 TD or 2 FG's, easy as pie.
Teams like Cleveland and buffalo might play another 4 quarters.
