Colts Fans, Huddle Up! Let's Settle This Super Bowl Mystery!
Ah, the Indianapolis Colts. A team that stirs up memories of Peyton Manning's slinging arm, Marvin Harrison's acrobatic catches, and enough horseshoe parades to make a Clydesdale jealous. But there's one question that haunts Hoosier households (and maybe even a confused tumbleweed in Arizona): what year did the Indianapolis Colts win the Super Bowl?
Did the victory happen during the reign of the Manning-Macklin connection, or perhaps it was a Luck-led Lombardi Trophy run? Were you rocking a Peyton jersey back in the day, or did you sport Andrew's number while celebrating?
Well, grab another slice of deep-dish pizza (it is Indiana, after all), because we're about to clear the confusion!
Colts Super Bowl Glory: A Trip Down Memory Lane
The Indianapolis Colts have actually hoisted the Lombardi Trophy not once, but twice! They first secured NFL supremacy way back in Super Bowl XLI, which took place on February 4th, 2007. Peyton Manning was at the helm, leading the Colts to a thrilling victory against the Chicago Bears. It was a rainy night in Miami, but that couldn't dampen the Colts' winning spirit (or Peyton's arm strength).
