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?

What’s “fair” is that each team gets the ball, unlike the majority of current OT’s in the NFL. Three completions = game over. the loser of the coin flip usually loses the game.

The only way that the team's opponent gets the ball in field goal range is if the team's offense screws up or the team's defense lets them in. It is a team sport.
