100 Years Of The NFL: Where Will Colts Rank?

As I approach my 50th year of Colt fandom, I note that the NFL will celebrate it's 100th season in 2021. I decided to see where the Colts franchise ranks vs. all the other NFL franchises, as far as championships and playoff competitiveness reveal. I rank the franchises first by World Championships, then break down each resulting level by number of playoff victories.

1. Green Bay Packers 13 world championships, 27 playoff victories

2. Chicago Staleys/Bears 9 world championships, 26 playoff victories

3. New York Giants 7 world championships, 29 playoff victories
