It's just a rule that benefits the team with a better defense. I don't know the official stat but the team that gets the ball first in OT only wins at a little better than a 50% clip. What is next? If one team gets 18 possessions in a game and the other gets 17 should we extend the game so it is fair? Fact is an NFL team gets 60 minutes to win the game. If you can't get it done in those 60 minutes and lose the coin toss in OT your defense needs to make a stop. If it can't then you deserve to lose. Your defense forces 3 and out and you get a short field to march down for the win.
