15. Vikings can thank the Colts coach

The coach of the Colts gave the game away.
When you have a lead you need to use the clock. The Viking scored the tying points with 13 seconds left.
During the comeback the Colts had 4 possessions that were a bit longer than 1 minute. Why? His game plan stopped the clock by heaving the ball all over the place.
If he would have called for 3 running plays and then a punt w would have eaten up more than 2 minutes for those sets of downs. The Vikings would have run out of time well before their final regular time score.
Credit to the Viking for taking advantage of the Colt's coach's stupidity.
