Question New NFL Playoff overtime rule

Not sure I like this new rule although I didn't like the win coin flip-make a few first downs - kick field goal ending to games either. What happens if:

- the kicking team in OT recovers an onside kick - will a field goal win it or does the receiving team get another chance? If they do, what happens if the kicking team tries another onside kick and recovers it - is the game immediately over?

- what happens if on the first possession, there's an interception, then the returning team fumbles it back, does the offence now just need a field goal because the kicking team had it's chance with possession of the ball?

- what if the team winning the coin flip decides to pick an end (due to field or weather conditions) and ends up kicking off - do they get a chance if the receivers score a field goal?
