This also doesn't imply that the coin toss is rigged. It only says that the winner of the coin toss (which is a fair game) is more likely to win the game.

That's right. And even though the coin toss is fair, it is a fair
game of chance. Ordinarily we expect football to be a game of skill and the outcome to depend as much or more on skill as chance. Otherwise, we could just end the game with the toss and not play at all.
