Not if you opt to kick and the receiving team scores a TD - The NFL rules don't actually guarantee each team an offensive possession.
Each team must possess or have the opportunity to possess the ball unless the team that has the ball first scores a touchdown on its initial possession

"Rarely"? It's already happened twice this year (so far). As Corey pointed out, the Steelers were eliminated in the playoffs last year in exactly this scenario.
No coach would ever willingly give the opposing team the opportunity to win the game without his own team even having a chance to possess the ball. Nor should they.
