49ers players say they didn’t know Super Bowl overtime rules | ESPN
While several Chiefs players and coaches said they had a prepared strategy in the event that the Super Bowl went to overtime, multiple 49ers players admitted they were not even aware of the rules.
“I didn’t even know about the new playoff overtime rule, so it was a surprise to me,” Niners defensive lineman Arik Armstead said. “I didn’t even really know what was going on in terms of that.”
Sunday night’s game was the second of 58 Super Bowls to be tied after regulation.
