Colts' Jeff Saturday says he wishes he had used late timeout

INDIANAPOLIS -- Colts interim coach Jeff Saturday, in a reversal from his postgame comments on Monday night, said Tuesday that he had regrets about the team's handling of a late-game scenario in a 24-17 loss to the Steelers.

Saturday declined to call a timeout before a key third-down play, opting to stick with a predetermined play call the team had dialed up. The Colts were hoping to catch the Steelers in a suboptimal personnel grouping that would have given themselves an advantage.

But what ultimately happened is the Colts struggled to get lined up quickly, allowing the clock to roll and giving the Steelers a chance to regroup.
