Can the Indianapolis Colts Repeat?
Blogging the National Football League, Blogging the NFL
They brought Indianapolis its first major professional sports league championship when they won Super Bowl XLI. They are the winningest team in the NFL in the past five years (60 victories). They can become the first team in history to win at least 12 games in five consecutive seasons. But the Indianapolis Colts really have only one thing in mind –- matching the eight times NFL teams won back-to-back Super Bowls. Indy head coach Tony Dungy played (in 1978) for the only team, the Pittsburgh Steelers, to perform the feat twice, and he learned a lesson from Steeler’s coach Chuck Noll that he and his players will follow this year. Coach Dungy said:
“Chuck Noll’s attitude and the players’ attitude was that they put the rings away before training camp because they wanted to go win another one. Coach Noll and those guys were never intimidated by trying to win another title.”
The Colts will make a run. Yes, they’ll make the playoffs. But I’m sticking with the Patriots as my Super Bowl favorite.
