Carlie Irsay-Gordon's reason for wearing a headset on the sideline is not much of a surprise.
Earlier this year, the Indianapolis Colts suffered a major blow when longtime owner Jim Irsay suddenly died. After his father, Robert Irsay, suffered a stroke in 1996, Irsay took over the day-to-day operations of the team, and after Robert's death in 1997, he became the youngest NFL owner in history.
Irsay's death was a huge blow to the Colts franchise, as well as the Indianapolis sports community as a whole.
