INDIANAPOLIS --- One month left in the season and tied for first place despite a 6-6 record, Chuck Pagano drove home his message after the last practice of the week Friday before a week 14 road game in Jacksonville Sunday.
Pagano took the podium for his press conference after practice wearing a grey t-shirt with a quote that sounded like Rocky Balboa.
“It’s not whether you get knocked down,” the shirt read, “it’s whether you get back up.” Pagano knows that better than anybody in the building on West 56th Street, and his players know it.
