The kick-off idea is close to PKs, but what do you mean play until it's over? Just infinite 10 minute overtimes until there's a winner? Sudden death isn't going to work in an era of high-powered scoring. The NFL has slanted the field so much in favor of the offense that it means winning a coin flip is starting to decide the winner of a football game (this wasn't true historically). There has to be some kind of way to mitigate that. You're going to need to find some way to have a clear winner in a short amount of time. I prefer the infinite downs scenario. Sooner or later, a team will score or turn the ball over.

I don't like the idea that to win the game you end up playing a different game. The old way of Sudden Death was the best way.
