"If they can’t resolve it in overtime, they should go to the format they use in college football for overtime."

They should adopt that format anyway, it's much more exciting and more fair to boot.

What’s “fair” about a defense that keeps its opponent bottled up in their own end all day being “rewarded” in OT by giving the opponent the ball in field goal range?

The one thing I don’t like about NCAA overtime rules is that almost all OT games end with very high scores that don’t accurately reflect the offensive/defensive capabilities of the teams. And aren’t the players’ personal statistics skewed by overtime, too?
