I do like the suggestion of Spot & Call to eliminate the luck of a coin flip. It's Leon's post but simplified- a sudden death overtime where the home team gets to "Spot" where to place the ball for the first drive. So the Chiefs say

"We'll start with the ball at the 50 yard line!"

The Bills obviously aren't happy with that plan and so they "Call" their own shot and say no, WE will start with the ball at the 50 instead and that's where they get it for their first drive.

If instead the Chiefs Spot at their own 1 yard line, the Bills decide they'd be crazy to Call- instead they let the Chiefs start with the ball. If they force a safety it's game over, Chiefs drive for a FG or TD it's game over, otherwise if they have to punt the Bills get the ball with (probably) great field position.
