The Greatest In-Season NFL Turnaround For All 32 Teams
By Erik Lambert
Indianapolis Colts: 1975
The 1975 Baltimore Colts faced a tough start to the season with three road games in their first five contests, and the difficulty of that schedule proved to be too much to handle in the early goings of the season.
They started the year off with a victory, but lost four straight games. Their ugly 1-4 record looked like it would be impossible to overcome but this team proved itself nothing if not resilient, winning nine straight games to end the regular season with a record of 10-4.
Not only that, but the Colts ended up with one of the best offenses and best defenses in the entire NFL that year. Their balance on both sides of the ball led them to a great regular season finish, but a very disappointing postseason display as they were beaten easily by the Pittsburgh Steelers.
