If someone were to open the overtime with an onside kick and recover it, is the game now sudden death and winnable by FG?(did that count as the receiving teams possession?
No, because team one never had possession.
quote:
Saints get the ball first. Drew Brees throws an interception. As the intercepting player is running with the ball, he fumbles the ball. The fumble is then recovered by the saints.
Can the saints then win with a FG via sudden death?
Yes, because both teams had possession.

Did you read saintsfan's rule book answer to question 1 above?
quote:
(e) The opportunity to possess applies only during kicking plays. A kickoff is the opportunity to possess for the receiving team. If the kicking team legally recovers the kick, the receiving team is considered to have had its opportunity.
