貝克·梅菲爾德對酋長隊贏得加時賽硬幣的反應迅速蔓延

堪薩斯城酋長隊在加時賽中有著無可挑剔的記錄，他們最近的超級碗勝利表現證明了這一事實。

The Kansas City Chiefs extended their NFL-best record to 8-0 on Monday following a 30-24 overtime victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

週一，堪薩斯城酋長隊在加時賽中以 30-24 擊敗坦帕灣海盜隊，將他們的 NFL 最佳戰績擴大到 8-0。

After a back-and-forth fourth quarter that saw both teams trade touchdowns, the game went to overtime, where the Chiefs won the coin toss.

第四節雙方互有達陣，比賽進入加時賽，酋長隊贏得了擲硬幣的勝利。

Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield had an expected reaction to losing the toss, which was clear in his disappointed body language. A clip of the moment has since gone viral, as the signal-caller’s fears were proven right with the Buccaneers’ defeat.

海盜隊四分衛貝克·梅菲爾德對輸球做出了預期的反應，從他失望的肢體語言中可以清楚地看出這一點。此後一段影片在網路上瘋傳，海盜隊的失敗證明了信號呼叫者的擔憂是正確的。

In the clip, the two offense leaders walk to the referee, with Mahomes choosing heads and Mayfield choosing tails. Fortune favored the Chiefs, though, and as the official announced “Heads,” the Buccaneers QB threw his head back with a wince, glancing to the heavens in defeat.

在影片中，兩位進攻領袖走向裁判，馬霍姆斯選擇了正面，梅菲爾德選擇了反面。然而，命運眷顧了酋長隊，當裁判宣布「正面」時，海盜隊四分衛皺起眉頭，向後仰去，失敗地望向天空。

Mayfield pointed to the sky before ultimately shaking Mahomes’ hand and jogging back to his team, hoping the Bucs defense would work its magic.

梅菲爾德指著天空，最後與馬霍姆斯握手，慢跑回球隊，希望海盜隊的防守能發揮魔法。

As the Chiefs successfully kept their undefeated streak intact, now at a record of 8-0, it was a heartbreaking and unfortunate loss for Tampa Bay. Mayfield’s reaction to the coin toss reflected just that, and fans couldn’t help but empathize with the quarterback.

儘管酋長隊成功保持了不敗紀錄，目前戰績為 8 勝 0 負，但對於坦帕灣隊來說，這是一場令人心碎且不幸的失利。梅菲爾德對拋硬幣的反應反映了這一點，球迷們不禁同情這位四分衛。

One fan wondered how the team’s 3-hour labor was uprooted by mere luck since the Chiefs were sure to end the game with the ball with them, as was echoed by another.

一位球迷想知道，既然酋長隊肯定會用他們的球來結束比賽，那麼球隊三個小時的勞動是如何僅僅因為運氣而被連根拔起的，正如另一位球迷所呼應的那樣。

Imagine playing an NFL game for 3 hours then it comes down to a coin flip

想像一下，玩了 3 個小時的 NFL 比賽，然後就變成了拋硬幣

Some frustrated fans called the rule unfair, insisting that a change is necessary. They argued that both teams should get an opportunity to score.

一些沮喪的球迷稱這項規則不公平，堅持認為有必要做出改變。他們認為兩隊都應該有得分的機會。

He knew what was about to happen. Rule needs to change. Coin flip should not decide the game. Each team should get one possession.

他知道將會發生什麼事。規則需要改變。拋硬幣不應該決定遊戲的勝負。每支球隊都應該獲得一次控球權。

When will the NFL change these stupid OT rules. Both teams should be given a chance. Not make it based on a coin flip.

NFL什麼時候才能改變這些愚蠢的加時賽規則。兩支球隊都應該有機會。不是基於拋硬幣。

Following the loss, Tampa Bay fans also threw shades at Buccaneers HC Todd Bowles, whose decision could have ended the game before the fourth quarter.

輸掉比賽後，坦帕灣球迷也對海盜隊 HC 托德鮑爾斯表示不滿，他的決定可能會在第四節之前結束比賽。

Patrick Mahomes’s stroke of luck

派崔克·馬霍姆斯的運氣

When Mayfield found Ryan Miller in the fourth quarter with just 27 seconds left on the clock, Tampa Bay faced a major decision. A field goal would give them a tie, and a chance in the overtime. But a two-point conversion would give them the victory, though it would come with a risk of defeat, if unsuccessful.

當梅菲爾德在第四節比賽還剩 27 秒時找到瑞恩米勒時，坦帕灣隊面臨著一個重大決定。射門將使他們打平，並在加時賽中獲得機會。但兩分轉換將使他們獲得勝利，儘管如果不成功，就會有失敗的風險。

The Bucs took the safer route and decided to tie the game. This move, however, turned out to be game-changing, game-losing, as the Chiefs won the game with the flip of a coin.

海盜隊採取了更安全的路線，決定扳平比分。然而，這一舉動改變了比賽，導致了比賽的失敗，酋長隊以擲硬幣的方式贏得了比賽。

Everyone knew that once ‘Magic’ Mahomes‘ had the ball, there wasn’t a chance of Mayfield getting a go at it, and fans have the head coach’s conservative approach to blame. They argue that the team should have gone for the Chiefs’ throat, the two-point conversion.

每個人都知道，一旦「魔術師」馬霍姆斯拿到球，梅菲爾德就沒有機會接球，球迷們將責任歸咎於主教練的保守態度。他們認為球隊應該直擊酋長隊的喉嚨，也就是兩分轉換。

However, the HC Todd Bowlers had different plans, and they backfired. The Chiefs easily secured their eighth straight win with a 70-yard drive in overtime, with Kareem Hunt ending it with a touchdown. And while fans are venting their frustration against Bowles, Andy Reid is happy about the opposing coach’s decision.

然而，HC Todd Bowlers 卻有不同的計劃，結果適得其反。酋長隊在加時賽中以 70 碼的衝球輕鬆取得八連勝，卡里姆亨特以達陣結束比賽。當球迷們對鮑爾斯發洩不滿時，安迪·里德對對方教練的決定感到高興。

When asked by the media if he was surprised by Bowles’ decision to go for a kick in the fourth quarter, Reid replied with a “No,” while expressing his satisfaction with how it turned out.

當媒體問他是否對鮑爾斯在第四節踢球的決定感到驚訝時，里德回答說“不”，同時對結果表示滿意。

“No, but I’m glad he did.”

“不，但我很高興他這麼做了。”

The Buccaneers failed to achieve a winning score, currently standing at 4-5. They will get their chance at a comeback with a matchup with another Super Bowl team, the 49ers next Sunday.

海盜隊未能取得勝利，目前戰績為4-5。他們將在下週日與另一支超級盃球隊 49 人隊對決，獲得翻盤的機會。
