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 Terry O'Neill, 49, of Arlington Heights, and the called the paramedics, Ingram said.

O'Neill was later revived with a defibrillator and taken to UMPC Presbyterian Hospital.
