Also, you could do more to ensure it would only be one more possession after the first score.  If the first score is an FG, say the second team is not allowed to go for FGs.  If the first score is a TD, say the first team is not allowed to go for 2.  If the first team makes their extra point, the second team would be required to go for 2.  In the unlikely event that both teams score touchdowns and miss their extra points, you could continue play as before or do 2 point attempts until one team makes it and the other doesn't.

Sure, it extends the game, that's why it's called overtime.  I doubt the players want their postseasons to depend on luck any more than the fans do.  Personally, I don't have a problem with ties in the regular season.  Maybe one possession each, then if the score is still even it's a tie
