NFL commissioner Roger Goodell gave his traditional pre-Super Bowl press conference Friday, and amid minor sniping with the players’ union and talk of the economy came this idea to address overtime: Moving the spot of the kickoff up for the team that loses the coin toss.

It’s an interesting approach to fix overtime — Goodell said 47 percent of teams won on the first possession of OT this season. I still think a better solution would to just guarantee both teams an offensive possession and eliminate ties. And there’s always this quandary: A team that wins the coin toss defers rather than start with lousy field position. At least Goodell and the league is thinking about this — maybe there will be a better solution to overtime in a couple years.
