Colts center Ryan Kelly missed the Patriots game after death of his daughter

It's been an emotional week for Colts center Ryan Kelly and his family as they mourn the death of his daughter, Mary Kate.

"Nothing made me happier than being your Dad," Kelly wrote on Instagram. "You gave your Mom and I that gift. You were simply a miracle and always will be. I’m sorry you never got to open those sweet eyes and see us or take your first steps but you have angel wings now. You left this world too soon but we know God had a bigger purpose for you. Your mom and I find comfort knowing you’re being loved on by your great grandparents.
