Chadia says the Colts want more

“It was all about our team bonding at a time when a lot of things were going wrong for us,” said Colts safety Melvin Bullitt. “Whatever the formula was that came out of that meeting, it certainly worked for us. Because we started our [NFL-record 23-game] winning streak right after that and we’ve been rolling ever since.”

What the Colts learned that night was that every great team has to reinvent itself eventually. And all they’ve done since is prove why they still have the goods to be as dominant as any franchise in their era. Along with that winning streak, the Colts have carved out plenty of space in the record books this season, including most wins by a team in a decade (115) and most consecutive 12-win seasons (seven). Now comes the next major challenge in the shaping of the Indianapolis legacy: Sunday’s matchup with the New Orleans Saints in Super Bowl XLIV.
