Colts Win 500th Game in Franchise History Behind Another Big Day for Luck

With Sunday's 27-0 blowout of the Cincinnati Bengals, the Indianapolis Colts reached 500 wins in franchise history, with 268 of those coming in Indianapolis and 238 in Baltimore, per Mike Chappell of The Indianapolis Star.

Led by red-hot quarterback Andrew Luck, the Colts won a fifth consecutive game to improve to 5-2 following an 0-2 start.

On pace to perhaps challenge some of Peyton Manning's 2013 single-season records, Luck is well on his way to joining Manning and Johnny Unitas as one of the three great quarterbacks in franchise history.

Despite getting Hall of Fame-caliber play at the game's most important position for so many seasons, the Colts have also experienced their fair share of lean years, notably making just one playoff appearance from 1978 to 1994.

The franchise's 480-420-7 regular-season record (20-22 in the playoffs) equates to a .532 winning percentage, ranking 12th best among active franchises, per Pro-Football-Reference.com. The Colts have two Super Bowl championships to go with another two championships from the pre-Super Bowl era.

Manning compiled a 141-67-0 regular-season record over 14 years with the Colts, good for a .678 winning percentage. Unitas had a 117-61-4 mark for a slightly more modest yet still impressive .654 winning percentage.

While the sample size is obviously still small, Luck's .692 winning percentage (27-12-0 record) through 39 career starts is actually the best of the three.
