The 2004 Indianapolis Colts season began with the team trying to maintain or improve on their 12-4 record from 2003, and advance farther into the playoffs. The Colts finished the season 12-4, and defeated the Denver Broncos for the second straight time in the playoffs, but they were halted in the Divisional round by the New England Patriots. Peyton Manning had one of the best seasons ever by an NFL quarterback, throwing 49 touchdown passes and breaking the previous record of 48 held by Dan Marino.
