INDIANAPOLIS -- Colts interim coach Jeff Saturday defended his clock management in the final minutes of Monday night's loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, saying he decided against taking a timeout until 30 seconds remained because he "didn't feel like time was really of the essence at that moment."
The Colts, trailing by seven, were in a bit of a frantic situation, facing fourth-and-3 from the Pittsburgh 37-yard line at the 2-minute warning. After converting, Indianapolis quarterback Matt Ryan was sacked for a 7-yard loss on first down, then scrambled for 14 yards on second down.
