INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 26 (UPI) -- Indianapolis Colts head coach Chuck Pagano attended his second consecutive home game Sunday after taking an indefinite leave for leukemia treatment.
The sold-out crowd at Lucas Oil Stadium roared its approval when Pagano, who was not thought to be in attendance, was shown on the video scoreboard with owner Jim Irsay early in the fourth quarter of a crucial 20-13 victory over the Buffalo Bills that kept the Colts' (7-4) playoff hopes alive, The Indianapolis Star reported Monday. He tapped his chest and could be seen saying, "Thank you, thank you," in response to the cheering crowd.
