  "account": "Social media users were quick to express their disapproval of Indianapolis Colts' head coach Shane Steichen's decision during the team's overtime loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. Fans were quick to label Steichen as \"SCARED\" and \"without fight\" after the coach opted to keep his offense on the field for the fourth-down conversion attempt instead of choosing to kick a game-tying field goal. This decision came after Laquon Treadwell's 48-yard catch negated a fumble by a Colts defender, putting the Chiefs on the 17-yard line.\n\nSteichen's hesitation was evident as he sent the offense out on first and second downs, resulting in -1 and -2 yard losses, respectively. When Daniel Jones scrambled for 5 yards, the Colts were set up for a fourth-and-8. Instead of kicking a field goal, Steichen sent the team out on the field, which led to the delay of game penalty and the Chiefs' field goal.\n\nMany social media users were critical of Steichen's decision-making, with some calling it \"coaching malpractice.\" A few users even went as far as to say that the Colts lacked the necessary \"fight.\" The overall sentiment was clear - the coach's call was a display of cowardice and poor judgment, particularly when the game was on the line.",
  "summary": "Colts coach Shane Steichen ran the ball twice and kicked a game-tying field goal with 3:11 to play in OT; Chiefs answered with a field goal. Colts fans are livid",
