The Colts–Patriots rivalry is a National Football League (NFL) rivalry between the Indianapolis Colts and the New England Patriots. It is considered one of the most famous rivalries in the NFL from the 2000s due to the teams posting numerous winning seasons during the decades as well as it being the height of the rivalry between Tom Brady and Peyton Manning, even though the rivalry began in 1970 when the AFL and NFL merged. While the Patriots were the unquestioned lords of the NFL during the 2000s, the Colts were one of the few teams that could reasonably give the Patriots a run for their money, especially with their higher winning percentage and 2006 season super bowl victory. The two teams have combined for seven Super Bowl victories and eleven AFC Championships since 2001. The Colts and Patriots were AFC East division rivals from 1970 to 2001, but their intensified enmity was not prevalent until Indianapolis was moved into the newly formed AFC South following the 2001 season as part of the NFL's realignment. The Patriots lead the overall series 53–31. The Patriots hold a lead in points scored, 2,088 to 1,577 for the Colts. In 2020, CBS ranked this rivalry as the No. 1 NFL rivalry of the 2000s.
