PITTSBURGH — The Pittsburgh Steelers suffered their first loss of the season to the Indianapolis Colts, partially due to a lack of scoring on their final drive when they were down three points.<\/p>\n

When running back Najee Harris couldn’t get out of bounds on a long third down play, Tomlin let the clock run before taking an unsuccessful play on fourth and long with just over 40 seconds on the clock, turning the ball over and effectively ending the game.<\/p>\n

On his Footbahlin podcast, former Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger called Tomlin out on his decision making late in the game.<\/p>\n

“You’re in fourth down, you have one play,”\u00a0Roethlisberger said. “You need to call your timeout; you’ve got to figure out your best play. You can’t rush that play call. I understand where he is coming from a little bit. But to me, that play is too important not to call a timeout.”<\/p>\n
