NFL Notes: Colts, Cowboys, Eagles, & Saints

Colts

Colts HC Chuck Pagano told Ray Lewis on ESPN’s Monday Night Countdown that he’s planning as if “this is my last job.”

“My plans?” Pagano said, via Pro Football Talk. “This is my last job. And that’s what my plans are. We’ve won, and we’ll continue to do that. But when I took this thing, I said that’s my last job. And when I said that I meant it. I’m not going nowhere.”

Cowboys

Saints
