Bettis Fumble Coincides With Fan's Heart Attack (WTAE-TV)

The excitement of the Steelers taking on the Indianapolis Colts proved too much for one fan on Sunday.

With about 1 minute remaining in the game, Colts linebacker Gary Brackett hit Steelers running back Jerome Bettis on the Indianapolis goal line and forced a fumble -- one that caused a man to go into cardiac arrest at Cupka's bar, in the South Side, Sheldon Ingram said.

The firemen performed CPR on [the victim] and the called the paramedics, . . .

[The victim] was later revived with a defibrillator and taken to UMPC Presbyterian Hospital.
