  • The rivalry between the Indianapolis Colts and New England Patriots of the National Football League is one of the NFL's most famed rivalries of the 2000s. The two teams combined for four Super Bowl victories (three by the Patriots) and six American Football Conference Championships since 2001, while both are noted for their organizational excellence. The nature of this rivalry is somewhat ironic because while the Colts and Patriots were AFC East division rivals from 1970 to 2001 (dating back to the Colts' time in Baltimore), their intensified enmity wasn't prevalent until Indianapolis was moved into the newly formed AFC South following the 2001 season as part of the NFL's realignment. Since 2002 (the only season since realignment in which they did not meet) the rivalry has been bitterly close: following New England's 31-24 win in 2010 the Patriots lead the series with eight wins (two in the playoffs) versus five wins (one playoff) for the Colts, and the Patriots hold a lead in points scored, 401-335. The modern matchup is often headlined as a contest between Pro Bowl quarterbacks Peyton Manning and Tom Brady, who together have won six NFL MVP awards in eight years (2003-2010; four of which by Manning and two by Brady). Tom Brady received his first start against the Colts after an injury to then-starter Drew Bledsoe, and proceeded to defeat the Colts in his first six games against them in the next years, including the 2003 AFC Championship game and a 2004 AFC Divisional playoff game. The Colts won the next three matches, notching two regular season victories and a win in the 2006 AFC Championship game on the way to their win in Super Bowl XLI.
