1971 Baltimore Colts season

Led by second-year head coach Don McCafferty, the Colts appeared to be on the verge of winning the AFC East again after beating the Miami Dolphins 14–3 in the penultimate game of the regular season.

However, the Colts lost the final game of the season at home to the New England Patriots, dropping them to 10–4 and the wild card berth.

This was the final season under the ownership of Carroll Rosenbloom, who traded franchises with the Los Angeles Rams in July 1972, with players and coaching staffs remaining intact.
