Najee Harris After Steelers Tie Lions: 'I Didn't Even Know You Could Tie in the NFL'

Steelers rookie running back Najee Harris got plenty used to winning during his prolific college career, losing just three times in 51 games played at Alabama. Only one of those 51 games went into overtime, which might explain Harris's confusion following Sunday's 16–16 tie against the winless Lions.

After the game, Harris said he wasn't aware that there were ties in the NFL, explaining that he was getting ready to play another period before somebody finally broke the news to him.

"I didn’t even know you could tie in the NFL. In my mind, I was sitting on the bench saying, 'I’ve got another quarter to go'" Harris said, per ESPN's Brooke Pryor.
