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.
