Polian talks to NFL network

Via Oehser, Caldwell says he’s surprised by the fan reaction

Polian said the plan was formulated during the week with a group that included owner James Irsay, among others: “The timing was entirely up to coach, it was his decision to make as to when we took the players out. And, by the way, it was Peyton; Reggie Wayne, who was battling a sore toe and sore groin; Dallas Clark, who had a thigh contusion, and I think that was all. Joseph Addai went out earlier in the game with an injury.”
