And the right to determine who plays in the most important game of the year was decided by a coin flip. But if the team winning the coin flip in an overtime game receives the kick and scores a touchdown, they win. A coin flip thus deprives the losing team of the right to compete at all in that extra time. With all that is on the line, that is one nonsensical rule. No one knows what would have happened had the coin flip gone to the Chiefs or had the rules permitted the Chiefs a chance to tie.
