Football: the Indianapolis Colts against the Patriots

In the years that the Colts and patriots were division rivals, their rivalry didnt spark much interest in the NFL until lately. The acquisition of two great quarterbacks in the Patriots and the Colts roster was the reason why this rivalry began in the early part of the new millennium. The patriots drew first blood when they claimed victory in the 2003 AFC championship game and 2004 AFC divisional game.

The colts returned by winning in the 2006 AFC Championship in their campaign to take the Super Bowl in the same year. In their next two matchups, they were dead even with one win apiece in two really close games with the Colts win being a comeback win.
