&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;runtime:topic id=”PESPT000009010”&amp;gt;Reggie Wayne&amp;lt;/runtime:topic&amp;gt; has been a part of many big games over the years. In 12 seasons with the &amp;lt;runtime:topic id=”ORSPT000044”&amp;gt;Indianapolis Colts&amp;lt;/runtime:topic&amp;gt;, the receiver has spent most of his career catching passes thrown by the great Peyton &amp;lt;runtime:topic id=”PESPT008423”&amp;gt;Manning&amp;lt;/runtime:topic&amp;gt; and has played in multiple playoffs games and two Super Bowls.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;But he’s had more yards receiving than he did Sunday, when he had 212 yards in 13 catches (included the amazing one-handed grab in the video above) during the Colts’ 30-27 comeback victory over the &amp;lt;runtime:topic id=”ORSPT000042”&amp;gt;Green Bay Packers&amp;lt;/runtime:topic&amp;gt;.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;And Wayne probably has played in few games more emotional than the one Sunday, days after Coach &amp;lt;runtime:topic id=”PESPT0014774”&amp;gt;Chuck Pagano&amp;lt;/runtime:topic&amp;gt; announced he would be entering the hospital to undergo treatment for &amp;lt;runtime:topic id=”HEDAI0000054”&amp;gt;leukemia&amp;lt;/runtime:topic&amp;gt;.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;“I’ve got 12 years of [special] games,” said Wayne, who has known Pagano since the two were at the University of Miami in the late 1990s. “But this did mean a lot, just with the whole deal with how the week’s been going. You know, I talked to Coach Pagano and he wanted us to win so bad. Is it a high? Yeah. I don’t necessarily have one other than the Super Bowl game. But it’s up there.”&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Wayne even obtained a special pair of orange gloves to wear in his coach’s honor after learning that was the color for leukemia awareness.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;“I just wanted to do something, you know, for Chuck,” Wayne explained. “I had some equipment guys make some calls. If [&amp;lt;runtime:topic id=”ORSPT000007”&amp;gt;NFL&amp;lt;/runtime:topic&amp;gt; officials] fine me, they fine me. I really feel like that would be a terrible thing to do, but if so, so be it, I’ll go ahead and take the fine and do it for Chuck.”&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;NFL spokesman Greg Aiello &amp;lt;a href=”https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/early-lead/wp/2012/10/08/reggie-wayne-fights-off-cramps-in-game-dedicated-to-chuck-pagano/”&amp;gt;said&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt; Wayne would not be fined for the non-regulation gloves. Colts rookie quarterback &amp;lt;runtime:topic id=”PESPT000009016”&amp;gt;Andrew Luck&amp;lt;/runtime:topic&amp;gt; probably is happy to hear that -- particularly if that means his top receiver might be wearing them again.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;“I think the orange gloves were everywhere,” Luck said of Wayne’s productivity. ” I felt like there were eight pairs of those out there on the field. I told [Wayne] after the game he was the best football player I’ve ever played with. His leadership at halftime, on the field, before the last drive, I think I learned a lot from him from watching him operate. I’m very fortunate and blessed to be on a team with him.”&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;ALSO:&amp;lt;/strong&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p style=”text-align: left;”&amp;gt;&amp;lt;a href=”https://www.latimes.com/sports/sportsnow/la-sp-sn-chiefs-fans-cheer-matt-cassel-injury-20121008,0,3166127.story”&amp;gt;Chiefs rip their own fans for cheering &amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;&amp;lt;a class=”taxInlineTagLink” href=”https://www.latimes.com/topic/sports/football/matt-cassel-PESPT00008909.topic”&amp;gt;Matt Cassel&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;&amp;lt;a href=”https://www.latimes.com/sports/sportsnow/la-sp-sn-chiefs-fans-cheer-matt-cassel-injury-20121008,0,3166127.story”&amp;gt;’s injury&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;a href=”https://www.latimes.com/sports/sportsnow/la-sp-sn-massive-wreck-nascar-talladega-20121008,0,3531974.story”&amp;gt;Watch massive wreck at end of NASCAR race at Talladega&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;a href=”https://www.latimes.com/sports/sportsnow/la-sp-sn-tim-tebow-mark-sanchez-20121008,0,1889068.story”&amp;gt;Will Tim Tebow replace &amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;&amp;lt;runtime:topic id=”PESPT00008840”&amp;gt;Mark Sanchez&amp;lt;/runtime:topic&amp;gt;&amp;lt;a href=”https://www.latimes.com/sports/sportsnow/la-sp-sn-tim-tebow-mark-sanchez-20121008,0,1889068.story”&amp;gt; at quarterback tonight?&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;
