Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield couldn’t hide his resignation as he reacted to losing the overtime coin toss against Patrick Mahomes.

The Bucs took the back-to-back Super Bowl champions and the only team remaining in the NFL with a perfect record the entire distance on Monday Night Football.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield appeared dejected after losing the overtime coin toss against Patrick Mahomes in a crucial game on Monday Night Football.

The Bucs faced off against the seven-time and back-to-back Super Bowl champions, who also happened to be the only remaining team in the NFL with a perfect record this season. Despite entering the game with a 4-4 record, Tampa were unable to hold onto their seven-point advantage in the fourth quarter against the Kansas City Chiefs, ultimately leading the game into overtime at 24-24.

A pivotal moment in the game occurred as the contest reached its climax in the overtime period. Both quarterbacks were summoned to the midfield for the crucial coin toss, which would determine possession. Mayfield opted for tails, but as the referee flipped the coin to land on heads, the Buccaneers signal caller's reaction was telling.

With the Chiefs winning the toss, Mahomes promptly announced that his side would receive the ball first, putting the Buccaneers on the back foot. As the decision sank in, Mayfield tilted his head back and gazed up at the sky in a mix of resignation and disbelief, seemingly aware that the odds had sharply turned against the Bucs.

The Chiefs capitalized on their advantage, executing a drive that covered 70 yards in just 10 plays and culminated in a touchdown run by Kareem Hunt. Notably, the Bucs never touched the ball in overtime, highlighting the significance of Mayfield's reaction to the challenge that the controversial coin toss had brought against them.

As Mayfield's reaction circulated on social media, fans chimed in with their perspectives on the quarterback's reaction and the rules governing the game. "Body language from both QBs showed us who was going to win," observed one fan.

Another user took aim at the rules, advocating for both teams to have an opportunity with the ball instead of a decisive coin toss, insisting "The overtime rules need to change!" A third fan concurred, adding "Once Mahomes got the ball, it was game over. You could feel the momentum shift instantly."

Meanwhile, another fan suggested an alternative to the current rules, slamming the use of a coin toss to determine the outcome of such a high-stakes game. "For the millionth time a coin toss shouldn't determine a game like this. It would quite literally be better if they had the two punters go out there and see who can punt it the furthest for the win," they wrote.

Ultimately, Mahomes overcame an early injury scare to throw three touchdowns on 28-of-35 passing with 230 yards, extending the Chiefs' record to 8-0 this season. On the other hand, Mayfield was unable to guide the Bucs back to winning form after losing their previous two games before heading to the Arrowhead Stadium. The first overall pick in the 2018 draft threw two touchdowns and went 23-of-31 passing with 200 yards.
