I have an idea:

1. There is no second coin toss at the beginning of OT. The coin toss at the beginning of the game is the same toss used to determine who gets first choice at the beginning of OT. That way during the end game decisions, the coaches already have that knowledge affecting their strategy. It is like more high stakes version of the end of the first 1st half game strategy.

2. The choice at the beginning of OT is (1) where on the field the ball is placed to start ; then (2) To receive or kick. (The Ravens proposal basically)

3. Instead of regular kick offs, you do the safety punt/kick thing. That way kicking from odd starting points can more easily pin people deep in their zone.

4. Team that starts playing defense is assured a possession even if the first possession ends in an offensive score.

5. After each team gets 1 offensive possession, it becomes sudden death.
