There is no way someone could be around football for all of their life and still not know that games could end in a tie, despite how it does not happen very often. Unfortunately, at least one current NFL star did not know this information.
The Pittsburgh Steelers running back told reporters he did not realize Sunday’s game against the Detroit Lions could end in a tie and needed to be told the game was over with both teams knotted at 16.
Lions running back Godwin Igwebuike also said he was unaware there was a tie if the game was still even after the overtime period.

Harris is more well known by the general public, so he got blasted for his admission.
At least one tie has been recorded in each of the past three seasons.
The No. 24 overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft rushed for 105 yards on 26 carries as the Steelers racked up 387 yards of total offense, but only 16 points were put on the board.
While Pittsburgh was surely frustrated with the outcome, it at least avoided a loss while starting quarterback Ben Roethlisberger was sidelined. Mason Rudolph went 30-of-50 passing for 242 yards, one touchdown and one interception.
