Colts in the Big Game: Touchdown or Fumble?

How Many Times Have The Indianapolis Colts Been To The Super Bowl |
Twice as Nice (or Not So Nice?)
Here's the skinny: the Indianapolis Colts have actually been to the Super Bowl four times. That's right, four! But here's the fun part (or maybe the not-so-fun part, depending on your Colts fandom): they only won one of those appearances.
So, if you're a Colts fan with a glass-half-full mentality, you might say, "Hey, one Super Bowl win is better than none!" But if you're a glass-half-empty kind of person, you might be thinking, "Ugh, three Super Bowl losses? Talk about heartbreak!"
Hey, that's the beauty of sports, folks! It's a rollercoaster ride of emotions.
QuickTip: Look for patterns as you read.
A Tale of Two Cities (and Two Colts Teams)
Now, here's a wrinkle in the story. The Colts franchise actually existed in Baltimore before moving to Indianapolis in 1984. And guess what?

So, technically, the Colts franchise as a whole has been to the Super Bowl a total of four times, with two appearances each for Baltimore and Indianapolis.
But for the sake of simplicity (and because most fans associate the Colts with Indianapolis), we'll focus on their Indianapolis era appearances.
