Remember that team from Baltimore? This is them now. Feel old yet? The Colts had moderate success when they moved to Indianapolis but everything changed for them in 1998.... In 1998, the Colts drafted a quarterback from Tennessee. After they drafted him, he disappeared from the face of the earth.. Of course I'm kidding, that's Peyton Manning! So what exactly did Peyton do for the franchise? Well..... All of those were under his leadership, including a AFC Eastern Title from 1999. He also did something else bigger than those Division titles... In 2007, the Colts won their first and only Super Bowl. The team was at their peak around this time and appeared in the playoffs in the last few years of the Manning era... Sadly, all good things must end and this was an extremely sad one for the Colts. After losing Manning to injury caused by the notorious Saints, they were forced to rely on a veteran quarterback. The veteran helped them...by giving them the first draft pick in 2012! Thanks to him, Luck came to Indianapolis. This kind of Luck was different because it was named Andrew! The team returned to the postseason with Luck and are seen as a decent team now. They had an off season this year but they still have a good quarterback to help them get back on track. Make sure to look out for them this year! We can't leave out the Colts' appearance on a popular TV show! The team is very beloved where they're from and they would most definitely be mentioned on a show set in Indiana. What other show than Parks and Recreation?! Enjoy! Leave a Reply. |
