INDIANAPOLIS, IN (WIVB) - He was Jim Kelly's backup for eleven years in Buffalo.

Frank Reich is back in the National Football League as the new quarterback coach for the Indianapolis Colts.

News 4 sat down with Reich a few weeks ago in Indianapolis to talk about his new job, and his playing days in Buffalo.

As the quarterback coach of the Colts, Frank Reich's charge is Peyton Manning, the three-time NFL Most Valuable Player.

Reich was second to Jim Kelly during his eleven year tenure in Buffalo.

When he did play, Frank Reich played in some of the most memorable games in Bills history, the Monday night comeback win over the Los Angeles Rams in 1989, and of course, the comeback game against the Houston Oilers.

Frank Reich will be back in Buffalo later this month for his annual Call to Courage breakfast, an event put on by the Buffalo chapter of Athletes in Action.

Former NFL kicker John Kasay will be the special honoree at the breakfast on March 28th.
