'That one's on me': Colts interim coach Jeff Saturday admits timeout mistake from Monday Night Football.
Mackenzie Salmon 'overreacts' to the biggest AFC storylines from all the Week 12 action in the NFL.INDIANAPOLIS – Less than 24 hours after the Colts lost to the Steelers on Monday Night Football, interim coach Jeff Saturday had an admission to make: The final minute didn't go as he was hoping for either.
"We had had several tempo runs throughout the game that we felt had been successful," Frazier said."Because of the personnel on second-and-long, we had some miscommunication in there and we lost the element of surprise in getting lined up." "From a time perspective, I felt good, but you could tell we were in disarray," Saturday said."I just didn't have a great feel. Parks made a great call. I still like the call. I told him to have one ready, and as soon as he went down, we had the call in place. But then we had the formation with personnel, guys running across.
Saturday and Frazier are in new roles, thrown into them in the middle of the season. Saturday had never been a college or NFL coach until the Colts brought him in as the interim head coach to replace a fired Frank Reich. Frazier had never called plays at any level until Saturday offered him the job that week.
