While plenty of people are still celebrating the NY Giants beating the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday at MetLife Stadium, not everyone is all smiles. Just ask Colts head coach Jeff Saturday about that. In the middle of the action in Week 17, there was some drama between the two sides thanks to a massive hit from Kayvon Thibodeaux on Nick Foles.

Thibodeaux absolutely rocked Foles for a big-time sack, with the signal-caller hitting the turf in powerful fashion. Foles was down on the turf in a ton of pain and he had to be carted off the field. While Foles was laying there, Thibodeaux was doing snow angels to celebrate his play. This drove Saturday up a wall, and he has blasted the No. 5 overall pick.

Jeff Saturday called out Kayvon Thibodeaux for his play on Nick Foles

Saturday didn’t hold back with his thoughts on Thibodeaux. Let’s be real here. Thibodeaux wouldn’t have done this if he knew Foles was hurt. He didn’t see Foles next to him in so much pain. The youngster was just celebrating his awesome play, but things looked so bad because of how injured Foles was.

The veteran QB won’t be playing in the season finale for Indy, as Sam Ehlinger has already been named the starter. It’s not like Thibodeaux was purposely trying to injure Foles. He was just pumped up that he was able to make a monster play for his team in a must-win game. Now, the G-Men are headed to the playoffs for the first time since 2016.

The Colts will be watching the postseason from home, and there’s zero chance they’ll be rooting for the Giants once the NFC Wild Card Round arrives. Thibdoeaux will look to make more head-turning sacks for Big Blue.

We may see another snow angel celebration arrive in the coming weeks. It’ll surely tick Saturday off, but something tells us Thibodeaux doesn’t care too much about that.
