I've thought about it, looked at how college does it (don't really like that), and decided on a radically new idea: Keep the current NFL format with one major exception. The defense can also win the game if they force a turnover.

Now both sides have a big incentive to play aggresive. The defenses don't have to decide to just play prevent defense and offenses have to think twice before just heaving up the ball and hoping for a lucky pass interference or miracle catch.

What is your idea?
Either this makes no sence or I'm not getting it, sorry. Are you saying the defense wins simply by intercepting? Under the current format if the defence intercepts they get the ball back and have a better chance because they usually end up with better field position.

The best way IMO is to just play out the OT till the end. Who ever has the most points wins. This insures both teams have equal play according to there ability and endurance.
