I initially think it's interesting but some situations would be sketchy. Like a dominant offense just taking over.

Then I consider the refs and 1st down penalties... and I get nauseous at the thought of this ever happening.

Exactly. There’s too much that can happen.

To me, if you fall behind by so much for the first ~58:00 of the game, then that’s your fault. The other team shouldn’t have to hold its breath because of an arbitrary new rule that can reward teams who play poorly for most of the game.
