Just FYI so that people don't get the wrong idea from Schefter's tweet - this was posted yesterday on SBNation (great little tidbit in there about Andy's Hawaiian shirts too, good for a giggle).

Kansas City wants guaranteed possessions in overtime
A motion from the Chiefs aims to change overtime rules to ensure both teams possess the ball at least once in the extra period — a proposal that comes months after Kansas City didn’t get a chance to field its offense as the Patriots ran away with a 37-31 overtime win in the AFC title game.
Their rule would also eliminate overtime in the preseason and eliminate the overtime coin toss, instead allowing the team who won the game-opening toss to choose whether to receive the ball or defer.
This proposal didn’t make it out of the committee in Arizona, but it will be discussed when the league holds its annual Spring Meeting this May — so it’s not completely licked yet.
