Most of the time, both teams get possession in OT, going by these figures. But it also proves that 35% of the OT games were competitively one sided. When you have a test of skill where only 1 team/person is able to provide the outcome, it no longer becomes a competition. The defense had a chance to stop the offense in those 35% of games and couldn't do it. Obviously, most of the time defenses can force at least one possession for their offense, so there is a competition. It's just that 35% of the time, the offense was better than the defense on the first drive. So you would be OK if the Top of the 10th inning ends with the winning run scoring because the defense/Pitcher allowed it to happen? Shouldn't the defense of the team winning the coin toss have the same oppoetunity to prove it is competitive just like the offense or is competition only offensive?
