Indianapolis Colts head coach Jeff Saturday knows he messed up his clock management during a Monday night loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 12. Saturday reviewed the tape from the loss, and admitted he should have called a timeout before a chaotic third-down play.
came under fire during the Colts' final drive of the game. With the Colts trailing by seven, quarterback Matt Ryan looked to lead the team on a game-tying drive. With roughly 1:30 to go, Ryan took a sack on a first-down play. Saturday opted to let the clock run.
A few plays later, Ryan attempted to run for a first-down. He came up three yards short, setting up a pivotal third-down. The Colts scrambled to get in formation while announcers Troy Aikman and Joe Buck expressed disbelief Saturday didn't call a timeout. The team eventually snapped the ball with 34 seconds to go. Jonathan Taylor was stopped for no gain on the play.
Upon reviewing tape of the game, Saturday admitted he should have called timeout following the Ryan scramble. Colts interim HC Jeff Saturday: "I wish I had that third down back and in all honestly, wish I would have called a timeout.... Looking at the film, you could tell we were in disarray."
