That s it! Steelers Rookie Harris knows NFL

The game between Pittsburgh and Detroit had already prepared for the neutral viewer anyway a lot of disbelief, because apparently no team really wanted to win — mistakes about errors happened at the end, so it came to a 16: 16 draw. The first draw this NFL season was born.

And it was also the first draw for Steelers-Rookie Name Jerome Harris. The 23-year-old Running Back, in this year s draft in the first round at the 24th place, obviously did not know the rules. Because when the watch of the ten-minute extension had expired, Harris made himself be received by another ten minutes.

I just did not know that you can play a draw in the NFL, says visibly surprised League Newbie after playing in conversation with ESPN. In my head, I prepared myself back on the bench with the sentence: So good to go another quarter.... But then someone came to him, a teammate well, and said, Boy, that s it! The game is.

To his defense: Until recently, Harris had still played college football, for the University of Alabama and the Crimson Tide. And here the NCAA rules apply to the same chances of both teams (in the NFL, a touchdown would mean the victory directly the victory at first on the ball) and simply drag further extensions with continuous tender.

I stand here and think...

With the NFL regulations was not familiar with this evening but not only Harris, too, opposite the Detroit Lions, Godwin IgWebuike (second NFL year), was not sure why at the end at 16:16 simply pulled a final line became. That s nonsense, says the runner. I stand here and do me how many extensions are well played. Three, two?

In any case, all involved had to accept all parties with the first draw of this Regular Season — and that would have been absolutely avoidable in the played 60 minutes of football plus ten minutes of extension. Alone in the Overtime, the Lions first gave the ball quickly, marriage Pittsburgh felled a fumble. Then Detroit stopped an interception, but they did not count. So at the end, a Field Goal from 48 yards was tried to victory, but NFL team Ryan Santos missed. In the episode, however, the Steelers also quickly gave their possession of the possession, before the guest managed nothing again — and Steel City again caused a fumble. Incredible!

With this Pittsburgh became the first NFL team since 2000, which happened in an extension (which was then 15 minutes later) several fumbles. And: The Steelers were only the 16th team since 1978 with at least two tours in the Overtime.
