The debate is that NFL overtime is biased and the team who wins the coin flip wins the game most of the time. I want someone to show me a site that has the OFFICIAL stat on the % the team who wins the coin toss scores their first drive to win. This info should be from the first ever sudden-death overtime game to the 2008 season including playoffs. This stat may surprise us all!!!!!!!

Please, no debating, only HARD facts with proof.
I want the stat to show how many times the team that won the coin toss scored their FIRST possesion, to just say 60% of the time they won, would include other possesions that were not directly affected by the coin toss.
 
It's not biased. It's fair.

It's not over if you lose the coin toss. This is where having a good defense comes into play. All you defense has to do is shut down their offense. If your team can't shut down their offense, then you are not worthy of winning the game. It's that simple.
 
the official stat is 51% of the teams that won the coin toss win the game. the overtime rule is fine in my opinion. you get 60 minutes to win the game, you didn't do it, so now the first to score will win.
