And no, you have never personally seen any team defer and kickoff in overtime. It's happened one time in the history of the NFL since the current OT format has been in place.

Also, I didn't say they were trying to prevent a kickoff return from winning the game. I said they were trying to prevent a scenario where there is a kickoff, pass INT call, and FG to win the game.

Your one of those people that likes to talk to hear yourself speak aren't you?

Really? Only once? And I didn't see it? And which game would that be?

You posted :

they wanted to make it less likely that a game would be decided by a kickoff return

I think "make it less likely" and "trying to prevent" kind of mean the same thing, unless my understanding of the English language isn't as good as I thought, but then it is my 3rd language, so it is possible I don't spic-ae de Inglish as good as I thought.

Ok, so you say possession is not guaranteed and if team B onside kicks the ball and recovers and then scores in any way, the game is over. Where did you read that? Or is that you are just assuming that's how it is going to work?
