Baltimore lost two meaningless games on the West Coast at the end of the schedule, finishing with a record of nine and three, and arrived at the championship game healthy, rested, and ready.
The games were meaningless because the Colts had made an astonishing second half comeback against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 10. Trailing 27-7, the Colts scored 35 points in the final 30 minutes to clinch the Western Conference title.
