Very important point with the new OT Rule.

Why not kick off after winning the overtime coin toss?
The point was made you have waaaaay more freedom to call plays differently knowing you have 4 downs.
Bad coaching decision.

So stupid taking the ball first

As Romo said, maybe he thought his defense needed some rest.

It's basically like college the first 2 possessions. Why not kick it so you know how many points you need to extend the game?
If the possessions are switched then Niners are going for it on 4th and goal instead of kicked a FG.
And KC might be punting on 4th and 1 at midfield.
Nobody in college takes the ball in OT first but Niners did lolol

Absolutely horrible coaching decision.

Bad coaching by decision.
If the team score a touchdown game is over.

Well if both teams had scored a td youd wish you had elected to receive, its very debatable either way

Then people would call that a bad coaching decision.

With the college OT rules, going second is the clear choice.
With the old NFL sudden death, receiving the kick was the automatic choice.
With this new NFL playoff rule, there's pros and cons for each and thus no absolute clear cut choice.

If it’s still tied after each team has had a possession, it’s sudden death. So you would obviously want the ball first.

He just did what the NFL told him to do.

You have to take the ball. If both teams score a touchdown, the game becomes sudden death. You can’t just look at it from the first possession.

N/m, missed the ot rule change.

If they come out of the first drives still tied, then it’s sudden death

Dumb take. Nobody is taking that risk in the superbowl.
The truth is the overtime rule is dumb. Sudden death was way more exciting.

This is complex and giving me a headache
I’m not sure what the right thing to do is
What do the analytics say??
My initial thinking was of course kick and know what you need to do…but it’s different than college where both teams are guaranteed a 2nd possession. So now I’m thinking the right move is to receive
Someone said it earlier…
College … no brainer… defense first
Old nfl overtime rules… no brainer… take the ball
New nfl OT rules… a little more complex
The good news is that a coin flip by itself doesn’t decide games anymore

Having the ball 2nd is advantageous in every possible scenario no matter what happens on the 2nd possession. A hypothetical third possession is irrelevant in the majority of considerations.
The bottom line is that the team that doesn't start with the ball is not guaranteed any chance to win the game with their offense.
The team that gets the ball second is guaranteed an opportunity to win the game with their offense unless they turn the ball over on special teams before the offense takes the field or their opponent takes the ball first, scores a touchdown, and converts a two point conversion and the odds of a coach actually making the decision to go for 2 after a touchdown in the opening possession of overtime is about as close to 0 as anything in sports.
