The Greatest Villain In the History of All 32 NFL Teams
By Erik Lambert
Indianapolis Colts
Tom Brady has tortured pretty much every team in the AFC over the course of his Hall of Fame career. One could call him the villain of the entire NFL. Let’s be real though. No team felt the sting of him more often than the Indianapolis Colts. They more than anybody can say Brady was the sole reason they have just one Lombardi trophy in the past 20 years instead of three or four.
It began in 2003. The Colts, led by MVP Peyton Manning had designs on a championship. Brady and the Patriots had other ideas in a 24-14 victory. The next year it wasn’t much better as he led an efficient 20-3 win over what was arguably the best Colts team of the Manning era. In five playoff meetings, Brady is 4-1 against the Colts with seven touchdowns.
His three-touchdown, 45-7 pasting of them in 2014 was the worst yet. For his career, Brady is 14-4 against the Colts. That’s more wins he has against any non-division opponent in his career. There’s no question that city is begging for the day he eventually retires.
