Am I the only one wondering why we didn't call a timeout?

why we didnt call a timeout right before the two minute warning at the end of the game?

We had one timeout left and we had just stuffed the run on 2nd and 13. It was then 3rd and 13 and the clock was ticking down from 2:07 seconds. If we stop the next play, which we did, the clocks stops again at the two minute warning and they punt.

I'm almost positive that we didn't have any timeouts there, otherwise we would have had one once we got the ball back. And we got the ball back with zero timeouts.

I questioned using a timeout after a first down was gained with 3:05 left. They should have waited until we had a favorable down and distance.
