The Pittsburgh Steelers have enjoyed considerable success when playing the Indianapolis/Baltimore Colts. Leading the series 26-6 overall, they are also a healthy 9-4 on the road. Five of their wins have been in the post season.
The Baltimore Colts joined the NFL in 1950 from the All-America Football Conference, along with the Browns and the 49ers, when that rival league folded.
The Colts’ first year in the NFL saw them play and lose to the Steelers twice. First in an exhibition game 30-27 and then in the regular season 17-7 when the Steelers finished 6-6.
The following year, the Colts dropped out of the league before re-joining a year later when they met the NFL’s financial requirements.
