I don't know.. I get it, but I don't like it

Competition Committee will propose "modified sudden death" for overtime | ProFootballTalk.com

The new rule, as previously reported by many, will allow the team that receives the kickoff to start overtime to win the game only by scoring a touchdown. At that point, the game would end without the other team getting the ball -- and without an extra point being attempted.

If the team that receives the kickoff scores a field goal, the other team would then get the ball. A field goal by the other team would then extend the game, making it truly sudden death. Failure to score at all would end the game, as would a touchdown by the team that kicked off to start overtime.

I say you need to attempt the extra point.. just in case one of them gets it blocked/botched snap, etc
