The announcer is dead-wrong ....... you don't just keep it on the ground on 3rd-and-16 to make the Steelers use their final time-out ....... they only need a field goal to tie the game, and even with no time-outs, 2-plus minutes is an eternity in this game.
The Colts did the right thing by trying to pass for the 1st-down.

The clock IS NOT your friend when you only have a 3-point lead, well over 2 minutes to play, and the other team having driven right down the field for TD's on their previous 2 drives.
If the Colts had been conservative and run the ball, those 37 seconds and/or the time-out would have virtually no effect on the Steelers' ability to get into field-goal range.
