History of the Colts

The Indianapolis Colts are one of the most storied franchises in the NFL. Since their inception in 1953, they have been a perennial powerhouse and have won two Super Bowls (1970 & 2006). The team has also had some of the greatest players to ever play professional football, including Johnny Unitas, Marvin Harrison, Peyton Manning, and Reggie Wayne.

The Colts began as a charter member of the All-American Football Conference (AAFC) before joining the NFL in 1950. They were originally based out of Baltimore where they played from 1953-1983 before moving to Indianapolis for good after owner Robert Irsay's controversial relocation decision that shocked many fans around Maryland. During their time in Baltimore, they made several appearances at championship games but never quite managed to bring home a title until 1970 when head coach Don McCafferty led them to victory over Dallas Cowboys thanks largely due to MVP Earl Morrall’s performance on offense and Mike Curtis’ defense leading them through four quarters with no points allowed by either side! This was followed up with another Super Bowl win under Tony Dungy during his tenure as head coach between 2002-2008 which saw quarterback Peyton Manning lead an incredible offensive attack that included future Hall-Of-Famers Marvin Harrison and Reggie Wayne along with other great players like Edgerrin James or Dallas Clark who helped make it all possible!

After this winning streak ended following the 2008 season, there were some tough times ahead for the franchise as well as few changes in leadership wise but ultimately things started turning around again in 2017 when Frank Reich took the helm of coaching duties - since then the team has seen resurgence form going 10–6 record 2018 playoffs 2019 divisional round 2020 wild card round 2021 AFC Championship game against Kansas City Chiefs only narrowly missing out chance making back third super bowl appearance history books!
