FOXBORO, MASS. (WHDH) - A pair of off-duty firefighters are being credited with saving a man’s life during Saturday’s Patriots game.

A 61-year-old man suffered a heart attack while in the stands.

The off-duty firefighters were sitting two rows in front of him and ran over to help.

Those firefighters used an external defibrillator until a police officer could perform CPR.

The man recovered and is home resting.
