The 1984 Indianapolis Colts season was the 32nd season for the team in the National Football League (NFL) and first in Indianapolis, as they relocated from Baltimore after the 1983 NFL season. The Colts finished the year with a record of 4 wins and 12 losses, and fourth in the AFC East division. In their inaugural game in Indianapolis, they lost 23–14 to the New York Jets and did not win their first game at Indianapolis until week 5, when they defeated the Buffalo Bills 31–17. The Colts lost five games in a row (including another one to the Bills, who started the season 0–11 and finished 2–14) to end the season and miss the playoffs for the 7th straight season.
The Colts' 2,107 passing yards and 4,132 total yards gained on offense were the fewest in the league in 1984.[1]
