The Colts were in position to at least force overtime against the Steelers as the game entered its final minutes, but what transpired next will undoubtedly be discussed in the days and weeks to come.

After a Matt Ryan scramble in the last minute, Indianapolis chose not to use any of its three timeouts, soaking up nearly half of the remaining time.

The drive erupted into a frenzy and came to an abrupt end on a fourth-down incomplete pass to Parris Campbell. In the end, the Colts dropped "Monday Night Football" 24-17.

Was that the choice that set the tone for Jeff Saturday's interim coaching tenure with the Colts? He will undoubtedly wish it weren't.

The Colts had numerous chances to completely escape that scenario, including a third-quarter drive that advanced to within a yard of the goal line but was stopped by a botched handoff.

In the first half, Indianapolis' offence struggled mightily, and Ryan's first completion didn't come until late in the second quarter.
