The Indianapolis Colts season was the franchise's 61st season in the National Football League, the 30th in Indianapolis and the second season under head coach Chuck Pagano, who missed most of the 2012 season due to treatment for leukemia. The Colts have matched their 2012 record of 11–5, but went undefeated within the division this season. The Colts planned to advance further than the Wild Card round in the playoffs than in 2012, where they lost to the Ravens. They had done so after coming off of a 28 point trail against the Chiefs to win 45–44 at home. However, the Colts were defeated by the New England Patriots in the Divisional round, by a score of 43–22. On March 7, 2013, Jeff Saturday signed a one-day contract in order to retire as a member of the Indianapolis Colts. For the second consecutive season, the Colts held the final pick in the NFL Draft, number 254, which is famously known as Mr. Irrelevant. In 2012, the final player selected was Chandler Harnish. The 2013 season's Mr. Irrelevant is Justice Cunningham. Throughout the season, the Colts wore a patch to recognize the 30th season since their move to Indianapolis. On October 20, 2013, Peyton Manning made his first return to Indianapolis since being released by the Indianapolis Colts and signed by the Denver Broncos, a game in which commentator Al Michaels dubbed "the War of 1812" (referring to Peyton Manning's number of 18 and Colts quarterback Andrew Luck's number of 12). The Colts won the game 39-33. While losing their Week 14 match-up against the Cincinnati Bengals, the Colts overall record as well as a 4–0 record within the division was enough to earn them their 15th division title after the Denver Broncos defeated the Tennessee Titans. The Colts became the first team of the 2013 season to win their division, securing a home playoff game.〔(Colts Win AFC South thanks to Peyton Manning - Stampede Blue )〕 With the Titans' loss to the Cardinals in Week 15, the Colts were the only AFC South team in the playoffs. In the AFC Wild Card Game against the Kansas City Chiefs, the Colts rallied to turn a 38–10 Chiefs' lead into a 45–44 victory for the second largest comeback in NFL playoff history. It is behind only the Bills who rallied from a 32-point deficit in the 1993 AFC Wild Card Game. ==2013 NFL Draft== (詳細はMiami Dolphins in exchange for cornerback Vontae Davis. * The team traded its original fifth-round selection (No. 157 overall) along with a 2012 fourth-round selection to the San Francisco 49ers in exchange for the 49ers' 2012 third-round selection. * The team acquired a new fifth-round selection (No. 139 overall) in a trade that sent its 2014 fourth-round selection to the Cleveland Browns. * Selection No. 254 is a compensatory selection. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「2013 Indianapolis Colts season」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
