Indianapolis Colts Interim head coach Jeff Saturday ripped New York Giants rookie linebacker Kayvon Thibodeaux for celebrating on the field while quarterback Nick Foles was injured on the ground, calling him ‘tasteless’ and ‘trash “.
At a press conference on Monday, Saturday was asked about Thibodeaux Snow Angels Festival after sacking Foles at the end of the second quarter.

“No taste of celebration afterwards. Just rubbish. Not a fan of it at all and yeah, disappointed from the perspective of the o-line and teammates in general. We’re protecting our own,” Said Saturday.
“You all know me, I’ve been here a long time. I’m just going to take it easy. Obviously I didn’t like it at all and that’s where I’m going to leave it at.”

Thibodeaux said after the match that he was unaware of Foles’ injury at the time.
“When I realized he was injured, that’s when we started to get up,” he said via ESPN. “When you’re having a party, you’re not looking to see who’s doing what. But I hope he’s okay and I hope he’s okay.”

Saturday said Sam Ehlinger will close out the regular season in Sunday’s game against the Houston Texans.
“I was happy with the way he played yesterday when he arrived,” Ehlinger said of Saturday. “He didn’t do everything perfectly but I thought his energy was good. I thought he was working the ball up the pitch and in fairness to him, at the end of the game we kind of got to know where we were.”
