NFL Overtime format.?
I love watching games, but I don't like the overtime rules and have an idea to make OT more exciting.
Team that wins the OT coin toss scrimmages at the oppositions 40 yard line. They get 4 downs to try and score a field goal or TD. (First downs allowed). They either score or they don't score.The other team then takes over and starts at the 40. They must equal or exceed the score of the first team. If after the 2nd team's scrimmages the score is still tied, the first team gets to try again. Continue this way until both teams have had three chances to beat the other guys. If it's still tied after each team has had it's three tries, the game ends in a tie.
Example 1
Team A scrimmages at the opposition 40 - scores a field goal.
Team B scrimmages at the opposition 40 - scores a field goal.
Team A scrimmages at the opposition 40 - scores a field goal.
Team B scrimmages at the opposition 40 - scores a TD. Team B wins.
EG 2
Team A scores a TD on their first try.
Team B is intercepted on their first try. Team A wins
EG3
Team A scores a TD on their first try
Team B scores a TD on their first try.
(continue two more times to see if somebody can win it)
Thoughts?

I see it one of 2 ways
Option A ball placed on the 50 each team has equal possessions
Must go for 2 point conversion after a TD
Option B one 15 minute OT then if needed 2nd OT sudden death
ALL Replays are booth review

You mean like college, other than starting at the 25, you start at the 40.
I hope you didn't think you thought of that yourself.
But it's not a good idea.

I think it'd be cooler if OT was settled by first FG kicker to hit the pole from the 50 yd line. They just alternate back in forth until one gets that wonderful "BONG".

In the playoffs I now believe that both teams get a possession attempt
