So what percentage of games go to winner of the coin toss when teams don't score on the first drive? or, is everyone cherry picking because it happens very infrequently, but in very high profile games?

The concept is sudden death. . same thing happens in ice hockey. . first goal wins, the face-off is random. . the coin toss is random,

Teams perfectly physically evenly matched are probably more exhausted at the end of a game, than imbalanced teams . . .
