The team made it to theplayoffs with the best record in the AFC. The Colts hosted both AFC playoff games that they played in. (It wasn't until the 1975 season that playoff teams were seeded by record; the fact that the Colts hosted both playoff games was just due to the rotation set up with theAFL–NFL merger.) The team won both AFC playoff games as well asSuper Bowl V.
