Clock management can be the difference between an opportunity to score a touchdown or settling for a field goal. That exact situation played out in this game at the end of the first half for the Pittsburgh Steelers.
T.J. Watt had just notched his second sack in the span of just a few plays to kill the Philadelphia Eagles’ drive, and instead of calling an immediate timeout on 4th and 24, Mike Tomlin inexplicably let over 20 seconds go by before stopping the clock.
He was asked about this decision and what happened during his postgame press conference.
