INDIANAPOLIS — As fate would have it during a gap in his schedule at the NFL combine, John Harbaugh took a break from his videotape study of offensive tackles in the upcoming draft to catch a segment of “Jeopardy” as he worked in his hotel room on Friday night.

“That’s what this overtime thing is like, just ridiculous,” Harbaugh told USA TODAY Sports, pondering the prospects of another tweak to the NFL’s overtime rule. “You keep chasing all these windmills, but it’s unsolvable. No way can you ever get it to be equal. This is like chasing fool’s gold.”
