Colts Owner Jim Irsay Blasts Jeff Saturday’s Critics in Tweet

Jeff Saturday earned his first victory as an NFL coach on Sunday, as the Colts beat the Raiders, 25–20, in the former All-Pro center’s debut as the franchise’s interim coach. Given that his hire was met with a fierce wave of backlash and criticism over the past week, owner Jim Irsay decided to use the win to take his own personal victory lap.

In typical Irsay fashion, that celebratory moment came on Twitter, as the 63-year-old owner directed a pointed tweet at those who disagreed with his decision to bring Saturday aboard.

“All you critics…you criticize all of us in the NFL for losing…When we make moves to Win… you act so righteous!
