Detroit Lions film review: I owe Will Harris an apology

I owe Will Harris an apology, and someone ought to get the second-year Detroit Lions safety an Academy Award, too.

I put Harris, a Detroit Lions safety, on my stock-down list after Sunday's win over the Atlanta Falcons because, I wrote, "Harris almost declined the gift (Todd) Gurley gave the Lions" by trying to tackle the running back before he scored on a 10-yard run with 1:04 to play.

Gurley's touchdown opened the door for the Lions' wild comeback, and after rewatching the play and learning more about the Lions' approach to their final defensive snap, it's possible neither the touchdown nor the comeback would have happened if not for Harris.
