With the Colts securing the first big win of the post-Peyton era, owner Jim Irsay has a special delivery to make.

Per multiple reports, Irsay is taking the game ball to coach Chuck Pagano in his hospital room.

It’s a fitting ending to a memorable day in Indianapolis. Digging out of a 21-3 hole against a team that went 15-1 in 2011, the Colts pulled out a 30-27 win, moving Indy to 2-2 and giving them the kind of boost that could carry them much farther in 2012 than anyone ever imagined.
