How Many Super Bowls Has Indianapolis Colts Won |
Colts Country, Let's Ride... to Victory Twice!
That's right, Colts fans, you can strut your horseshoe pride with two Super Bowl wins under your belt. Here's the breakdown:
- Super Bowl XLI (2007): Remember that epic throw from Peyton Manning to Reggie Wayne that sealed the deal against the Chicago Bears? Pure magic.
- Super Bowl III (1971): This one technically belongs to the "Baltimore Colts" era, but hey, a win is a win, right? Johnny Unitas led the team to glory against the Dallas Cowboys.
Bonus Fun Fact: The Colts have actually appeared in four Super Bowls total, including losses in Super Bowl V (still Baltimore) and Super Bowl XLIV (?) (yes, that's a tear emoji, Colts fans, we feel your pain).
So, Why the Confusion? The Colts' Horseshoe Heist (Kind Of)
Here's the thing. The Colts franchise actually moved from Baltimore to Indianapolis in 1984. So, some folks might argue that the pre-1984 Super Bowl wins belong to "Baltimore." But hey, those rings still have a place of honor in the Colts trophy case, right? We're calling it a shared legacy.
QuickTip: Don’t skim too fast — depth matters.
