Broncos’ Nathaniel Hackett stands by decision to throw that preceded game-turning INT vs. Colts

Second-guesses, but no regrets for Denver’s Nathaniel Hackett.

The rookie head coach said Friday he stood by the decision to throw the ball on third-and-4 just before the two-minute warning with a 9-6 lead Thursday night against Indianapolis.

Quarterback Russell Wilson threw an interception in the end zone with 2 minutes, 19 seconds remaining in regulation, breathing life into the Colts’ chances just when it looked like the Broncos would finally put them away.

“I second-guess everything that I call because I always want it to be as good as it possibly can be for the players and for the team,” Hackett said.
