The Indianapolis Colts are a professional American football team based in Indianapolis, Indiana and are the reigning National Football League (NFL) champions since winning Super Bowl XLI on February 4, 2007.

The Colts initially struggled on the playing field after relocating from Baltimore, Maryland in 1984, winning just 90 of 228 games through the 1997 season, including 5 playoff games. Owner Jim Irsay assumed control of the franchise in 1998 after the death of his father Bob Irsay, however, and he immediately changed the direction of the franchise by hiring Bill Polian as President. Polian drafted QB Peyton Manning with the first pick in the 1998 draft and Manning subsequently started every game in his first 9 seasons, leading the Colts to a record of 99 wins and 58 losses, including 50 victories in 64 regular season games from 2003 - 2006. The Colts could achieve an all-time winning percentage since moving to Indy of at least 50% by winning 12 games or more in 2007.

The 1984 move from Baltimore was highlighted by an infamous incident in which the organization packed all of its belongings into Mayflower Transit trucks in the middle of a snowy night on March 29, after Baltimore's civic leaders threatened to use Eminent Domain laws to assume ownership of the team. The clandestine move angered many Baltimore fans and former players so much that they completely disassociated themselves from the team.

While in Baltimore, the club won four NFL Championships, including Super Bowl V.
