費城老鷹隊上賽季贏得了第二次冠軍，在超級碗利克斯擊敗了堪薩斯城酋長

冠軍的比賽似乎並不像老鷹隊有很多逆境，在新奧爾良慶祝的最後17場比賽中贏得了16場。

The Philadelphia Eagles are proposing a change to the NFL’s overtime rules during the annual meetings in Palm Beach, Fla. from March 30 to April 2.

費城老鷹隊在3月30日至4月2日舉行的年度會議上，提議更改NFL的加時賽規則。

The Eagles’ proposal is to align the postseason and regular season overtime rules “by granting both teams an opportunity to possess the ball regardless of the outcome of the first possession, subject to a 15-minute overtime period in the regular season.”

老鷹隊的提議是使季后賽和常規賽的加時賽規則保持一致，“通過授予兩支球隊有機會擁有球，無論第一場比賽的結果如何，在常規賽中需要15分鐘的加時賽。”

The proposal faces several hurdles. The NFL’s previous change to the overtime rules was made with player safety in mind. Playing an extra five minutes would increase the risk of injury and could become more of a factor if the league adopts an 18-game schedule in the coming years. The Eagles would also have to get 75% approval (24 of the 32 owners) to adopt the proposal.

該提案面臨幾個障礙。 NFL以前對加班規則的更改是考慮到球員安全的。額外的五分鐘會增加受傷的風險，如果聯盟在未來幾年中採用18場比賽的時間表，可能會成為更多的因素。老鷹隊還必須獲得75％的批准（其中32名所有者中的24個）才能採用該提案。

But the Eagles do have an argument to make the change. The rule change would make ties less likely during regular season games which could help eliminate the awkward math that goes into playoff seeding. It would also eliminate coaches’ strategy to dominate the extra period by holding onto the football with a 10-minute drive, which effectively determines the game with a coin toss.

但是老鷹確實有一個論據來做出改變。規則的改變將使在常規賽中的領帶的可能性降低，這可能有助於消除季后賽播種的尷尬數學。這也將消除教練的策略，即通過10分鐘的車程握住足球，從而有效地決定了比賽的策略。

There’s also a case to make things easier. San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan was bitten by the difference in overtime rules when he chose to take the ball after winning the coin toss in Super Bowl LIX. Instead of deferring the ball, letting the Chiefs opening drive play out, and knowing what the Niners needed on their guaranteed drive, they took the ball, kicked a field goal, and allowed Kansas City to drive for a walk-off touchdown.

還有一個案例可以使事情變得更容易。舊金山49人隊主教練凱爾·沙納漢（Kyle Shanahan）在加時賽規則的差異中被咬傷，當時他在超級碗利克斯（Super Bowl Lix）贏得了硬幣折騰後選擇接球。他們沒有延遲球，讓酋長開場驅動射擊，並知道尼納爾在保證的驅動器上需要什麼，而是拿起球，踢了射門得分，並讓堪薩斯城可以開車進行步行觸地得分。

Shanahan denied that he didn’t know the overtime rules but multiple players admitted they did not know the playoff overtime rules, creating a confusing situation for everyone involved.

Shanahan否認他不知道加時賽規則，但多名球員承認他們不知道季后賽的加時賽規則，這為每個參與其中的每個人都造成了混亂的情況。

It’s a change that wouldn’t have affected the Eagles’ march to the Super Bowl but could be something they run into down the road. If it is made, fans could see more decisive winners in the regular season and less confusion as the Eagles look to defend their title next season.

這是一種變化，不會影響老鷹隊前往超級碗的遊行，但可能是他們沿著路上遇到的事情。如果製造出來，球迷們可以在常規賽中看到更多決定性的獲勝者，而當老鷹隊希望在下個賽季捍衛自己的冠軍頭銜時，粉絲們的困惑就會減少。
