2 0 1 1 I N D I A N A P O L I S C O L T S C O L T S C H A M P I O N S H I P G A M E S NFL CHAMPIONSHIP – DEC. 28, 1958 YANKEE STADIUM BALTIMORE 23, NEW YORK, 17 – Quarterback Johnny Unitas took the Colts 80 yards in 13 plays, the last a one-yard carry by Alan Ameche through the right side of the Giant line at 8 minutes, 15 seconds of “sudden death” overtime. The regulation game ended 17-17 when Baltimore’s Steve Myhra booted a 20- yard field goal seconds from the gun. It has been called “The Greatest Game Ever Played” and the 64,185 who watched it at Yankee Stadium agree. Baltimore 0 14 0 3 6 23 New York 3 0 7 7 0 17 NFL CHAMPIONSHIP – DEC. 27, 1959 BALTIMORE MEMORIAL STADIUM BALTIMORE 31, NEW YORK, 16 – The Giants led 9-7 after three periods by virtue of three field goals by Pat Summerall, but Baltimore’s crack defensive backfield took charge in the final quarter, three times making interceptions that resulted in scores. Colt quarterback Johnny Unitas scored one TD and passed for two before a home crowd of 57,545 in Memorial Stadium. New York 3 3 3 7 16 Baltimore 7 0 0 24 31 NFL CHAMPIONSHIP – DEC. 27, 1964 CLEVELAND STADIUM CLEVELAND 27, BALTIMORE 0 – Both teams drew blanks in the first half but the Browns nailed down the World Championship with a 17-point third quarter. Quarterback Frank Ryan and fullback Jim Brown made the Cleveland attack click, as it rolled up 20 first downs to Baltimore’s 11 and outgained the Colts, 339 to 181 yards. Ryan completed 11 of 18 passes for 206 yards and three touchdowns – all to end Gary Collins from distances of 18, 42 and 51 yards, while the brilliant Brown bulled for 114 yards on 27 shots as Cleveland controlled the ball. Attendance was 79,544. Baltimore 0 0 0 0 0 Cleveland 0 0 17 10 27 NFL WESTERN DIVISION PLAYOFF – DEC. 26, 1965 LAMBEAU FIELD GREEN BAY 13, BALTIMORE 10 – A courageous effort by the undermanned Colts was doomed by a pair of Don Chandler field goals – one with 1:58 remaining from 22 yards to tie the score and a second of 25 yards to conclude 13:39 of “sudden-death” action. The Colts had jumped ahead 7-0, after 21 seconds of play when Don Shinnick scooped up Bill Anderson’s fumble and trudged 25 yards to the end zone. They protected their edge tenaciously until the finish as Tom Matte went the route at quarterback, rushing for 57 yards and passing for 40. Zeke Bratkowski, subbing for the injured Bart Starr, completed 22 of 39 aerials for 248 yards. The Packers ran 81 plays to the Colts’ 59 and led in first downs, 23-9. Attendance was 50,484. Baltimore 7 3 0 0 0 10 Green Bay 0 0 7 3 3 13 NFL PLAYOFF – DEC. 22, 1968 BALTIMORE MEMORIAL STADIUM BALTIMORE 24, MINNESOTA 14 – It was a cold, rainy day when the Colts won the Western Conference championship. The Vikings provided some uncomfortable moments after the Colts obtained a big lead. It was not until late in the first half that the Colts were able to nab a 7-0 lead on Earl Morrall’s pass to Tom Mitchell, after Willie Richardson’s diving catch of a 33-yard aerial put the ball at the three. John Mackey’s touchdown reception and Mike Curtis’ 60-yard return of a fumble made it 21-0 after three quarters. Viking quarterback Joe Kapp fired TD passes to Bill Martin and Bill Brown before time expired. Attendance was 60,238. Minnesota 0 0 0 14 14 Baltimore 0 7 14 3 24 NFL CHAMPIONSHIP – DEC. 29, 1968 CLEVELAND STADIUM BALTIMORE 34, CLEVELAND 0 – After a scoreless first period, Baltimore’s Tom Matte scored two of his record-tying three touchdowns in a 17-point Colts’ second quarter. Meanwhile, the capacity crowd of 80,628 saw the Browns held scoreless for only the second time in the club’s history as the Colts registered their fourth shutout of the season. Baltimore 0 17 7 10 34 Cleveland 0 0 0 0 0 SUPER BOWL III – JAN. 12, 1969 MIAMI ORANGE BOWL NEW YORK JETS 16, BALTIMORE 7 – Attendance 75,337. Jets’ quarterback Joe Namath “guaranteed” victory before the game, then led the AFL to its first Super Bowl victory over a Baltimore team that had lost one of 16 games all season. Namath completed 17 of 28 passes for 206 yards and directed a steady attack that dominated the NFL champions after the Jet defense had intercepted Colt quarterback Earl Morrall three times in the first half. The Jets had 337 total yards, including 121 yards rushing by Matt Snell. John Unitas, who had missed most of the season with a sore elbow, came off the bench and led Baltimore to its only touchdown late in the fourth quarter after New York led, 16-0. New York (AFL) 0 7 6 3 16 Baltimore (NFL) 0 0 0 7 7 AFC PLAYOFF – DEC. 26, 1970 BALTIMORE MEMORIAL STADIUM BALTIMORE 17, CINCINNATI 0 – Attendance 51,127. John Unitas connected with TD passes to Roy Jefferson and Ed Hinton and led the Colts into the AFC title game by defeating Cincinnati. The Baltimore defense came through on a cold, windy day and limited Cincinnati to 63 yards rushing and 76 yards passing. Norm Bulaich picked up 116 yards on 25 carries. Jim O’Brien connected with a 44- yard FG and missed one from the same distance. A 49-yard FG try by Horst Muhlmann was blocked by Ray May. Mike Curtis made the game’s only interception, picking off one of Virgil Carter’s fourth-period passes, to set up an eventual final Colt score. Cincinnati 0 0 0 0 0 Baltimore 7 3 0 7 17 AFC CHAMPIONSHIP – JAN. 3, 1971 BALTIMORE MEMORIAL STADIUM BALTIMORE 27, OAKLAND 17 – Attendance 56,368. Johnny Unitas’ passing and play calling, and the running of rookie Norm Bulaich powered the Colts to the AFC Championship. Bulaich scored twice and Unitas picked up 245 yards on 11 completions, with his key one coming in the fourth quarter on a 68-yard touchdown reception by Ray Perkins out of a formation with four wide receivers. George Blanda threw TD passes to Fred Biletnikoff and Warren Wells, but was 247 intercepted three times. Ed Hinton caught five passes for 115 yards. Oakland 0 3 7 7 17 Baltimore 3 7 10 7 27 SUPER BOWL V – JAN. 17, 1971 MIAMI ORANGE BOWL BALTIMORE 16, DALLAS 13 – Attendance 79,204. Colts’ rookie Jim O’Brien climaxed one of the zaniest professional football games ever played by lofting a 32-yard field goal through the uprights with five seconds left to give Baltimore a 16-13 Super Bowl win. The brutal defensive struggle resulted in 11 turnovers, which prevented a fluid, artistic performance but contributed to the drama of the contest. Dallas nearly put the game away early in the third period when, leading 13-6, the Cowboys recovered Jim Duncan’s fumble on the 2nd half kickoff and zipped to the Colts’ two. Duane Thomas, however, fumbled on the next play. Rick Volk provided Baltimore with the opportunity to tie halfway through the fourth period when he intercepted Craig Morton on the Dallas 33 and returned it to the three. Tom Nowatzke scored and it was 13-13. Mike Curtis intercepted another Morton pass on the Dallas 41 in the final minute and ran it back to the 28. The Colts stopped the clock with nine seconds left and O’Brien made history. Morton’s desperation pass on the final play of the game was intercepted by Jerry Logan. Baltimore (AFC) 0 6 0 10 16 Dallas (NFC) 3 10 0 0 13 AFC PLAYOFF – DEC. 26, 1971 CLEVELAND STADIUM BALTIMORE 20, CLEVELAND 3 – Attendance 74,082. Don Nottingham, playing for the injured Norm Bulaich, scored two TDs and rushed for 92 yards, while Baltimore’s strong defense dominated play in a 20-3 victory over Cleveland. Jim O’Brien added two field goals for the Colts and Don Cockroft, who had two kicks blocked by Bubba Smith, produced the Brown’s only points. Rick Volk intercepted two of Bill Nelsen’s passes and Charlie Stukes picked off a third. John Unitas blended the strong running of Nottingham with passes to his favorite target, tight end Tom Mitchell, who caught 5 for 73 yards. Baltimore 0 14 3 3 20 Cleveland 0 0 3 0 3 AFC CHAMPIONSHIP – JAN. 2, 1972 MIAMI ORANGE BOWL MIAMI 21, BALTIMORE 0 – Attendance 75,629. The Colts, playing without starting running backs Norm Bulaich and Tom Matte, still compiled 302 yards to Miami’s 286, but were damaged by the Dolphins’ big plays – Bob Griese’s 75t pass to Paul Warfield in the first period and Dick Anderson’s 62t interception return in the third quarter. Larry Csonka carried five yards for a fourth quarter touchdown for Miami. John Unitas completed 20 of 36 passes for 224 yards, but Colts were shutout for the first time since Dec. 5, 1965. Baltimore 0 0 0 0 0 Miami 7 0 7 7 21 AFC PLAYOFF – DEC. 27, 1975 THREE RIVERS STADIUM PITTSBURGH 28, BALTIMORE 10 – Attendance 49,053.
