That one will be revisited many times. It's going in the hall of shame. I genuinely feel really bad for the Saints.

Could have been called multiple ways. Wasnt just a PI, it was also helmet to helmet on a defenseless receiver. That the refs didn't throw a flag essentially tells me they decided before the play happened that there wasn't going to be a flag thrown no matter what happened.

First is instant relay. There's no point in even having it if some blatant miscalls aren't reviewable. So first every play and every call or non call needs to be automatically reviewable. "But then the games will take forever, SR!" First they won't, because the NFL can get rid of the idiotic coddling method they use currently where they suck up to the ref to maybe please correct his own bad call, and instead just have all replay stuff done at the head office. Have the replay office simply notify the ref in the game that a call is being corrected and then direct the ref on what the correct call is and do it. No more time wasted on making the ref feel like he matters, just get the blatantly bad calls right in a consistent way quickly.
Second is overtime. I used to think the NCAA does it wrong, but with the way the NFL has changed the rules to make it almost impossible to play defense against any team with an elite QB the games should not be won and lost on a coin flip. Go to the NCAA method and let the game continue until one of the two offenses doesn't match the other. Alternatively the NFL could peel back some of their insane rulemaking that was intended to bolster offense.

If the league is concerned about player safety, they should just do away with overtime altogether. Play calling in the 4th quarter would be adjusted in such a case. Some teams would forgo going for the tie and would instead go for the win depending on how their season was going especially the further into the season we go.
In the playoffs, I think the current format is fine. The college one basically hurts teams with great defenses by placing their opponent in scoring position already without having to earn it. If you lose the coin toss in OT, it’s real simple... just stop the other team from getting into the end zone. The chiefs didn’t do that.

I think the best system is simply to allow for each team to have 1 possession on the ball. After that, it goes to sudden death. Instead of kick offs, you make substitute the post-safety kicks so it shortens the field a bit for both teams. No more extra points allowed after TD's. Only Two point conversions.
Other possibility would be just to play another full period. No more sudden death, 15 minute full OT period. Winner is named afterwards.
This could be all only in the playoffs too. That is totally fine. Leave regularly season as is or modify a bit to protect player safety like you stated.

The point of overtime is to end the game as quickly as possible to not disrupt the TV schedule. I'm shocked they moved to what they have now and don't expect anything else that lengthens games to happen.

Which honestly is not something I understand in the playoffs. Sure if the maintaining the TV schedule in the regular season is that important, ok then there use a true a model that speeds up results.
But in the playoffs, who care if the games go long? No other major US sport overvalues "game length" versus getting the results of a playoff game correct, and all those sports use 5 or 7 game series instead of 1 game.
