Pagano's return: 'It's really great to be back'

INDIANAPOLIS -- The Colts have a lot of things to thank Santa for this Christmas.

Nine straight wins, a playoff berth and now the good health and return of head coach Chuck Pagano. Pagano has spent the past three months undergoing treatment for cancer.

While he was gone the team accomplished their objective of extending the season so that Pagano could rejoin them.

"It's really great to be back,” said Pagano. “Like a kid in the candy store, be doing what I love to do and what I’ve done my whole life."

Pagano received good wishes from Hoosiers everywhere.
