The Indianapolis Colts have won three NFL championships (1958, 1959, 1968) and two Super Bowls (1971, 2007).

Key figures in Colts history include quarterback Peyton Manning, who led the Colts to a Super Bowl victory in 2007 and set numerous passing records. Tony Dungy coached the Colts to that Super Bowl win, becoming the first African American to win a Super Bowl as head coach. In the late 1950s, Johnny Unitas, Jim Parker, Raymond Berry, and Lenny Moore led a formidable offense.
