Why did DA choose to call his 3rd time out with 2:22 left in the game (1 Viewer)

[SaintTupelo]

Bucs had the ball first and 10 at Saints 13 years line. The game is over at this point; Saints down by 17 (44-27). There was no possibility the Saints score three times in the final 2 minutes to beat the Bucs. Let the clock go to the 2 minutes, then the Bucs would have likely lined up in victory formation to end the game. Instead, the Bucs needed to get one more first down inside the three to run the clock out. The result was they scored to get to 50. It is bad enough to lose but to do something that results is your opponent dropping 50 points on you is criminal. Why add more humiliation to your defense. DA may have lost the locker room after this stunt.

I'm not certain if it's the same play, but I think we had 12 men on the field down there and it would have put them at 1st and 5 on the 8.
