NFL Overtime Rule Remains The Stupidest In All Sports

Is that single (first) possession winning drives, or does it include coin toss winners where multiple possessions occurred before arriving at a winner?

That has to be both combined. The numbers I saw were for regular season only, the coin toss winners went on to win on their first possession 16% of the time. I think it’s running higher than that in the playoffs.

I amended my other post it's actually more like 60% from what I can see. However there have been 11 playoff games that sent into OT and the coin toss winner won 10 of them or 91% of the time. I could not find any info on multiple possessions vs. single possessions.
