The Colts moved to Indianapolis in 1984, but it took them over 30 years to make their first Super Bowl in their new city.
Indianapolis’ first trip to the Super Bowl was a memorable one as the Colts beat the Chicago Bears in rainy Miami 29-17.
Devin Hester returned the opening kickoff for a Chicago touchdown in a nightmare start for Indianapolis, and the Bears led 14-6 after the first quarter. The Colts answered by scoring 16 straight points, and they tacked on a pick-six in the fourth quarter to seal Peyton Manning’s first Super Bowl victory.
