TONY DUNGY AND MARVIN HARRISON JOIN HOF

Tony Dungy becomes the 23rd coach in the Hall of

Fame and the third former Colts head coach to earn

the honor joining Weeb Ewbank (inducted in 1978) and

Don Shula (inducted in 1997). Dungy compiled a .668

regular season winning percentage (139-69) and a .652

overall mark (148-79) as head coach of the Indianapolis

Colts (2002-08) and Tampa Bay Buccaneers (1996-

2001). He is the winningest coach in Colts history and

his 85-27 (.759) record from 2002-08 ranked second in

the NFL during that span. Dungy was the fi rst coach to

beat all 32 NFL teams and is one of three people to win

a Super Bowl as a player and a head coach. He led the

Colts to their second Super Bowl victory in Super Bowl

XLI and became the fi rst African American head coach to win the Super Bowl.

Dungy had 10 seasons with 10-plus wins (seven with Indianapolis, three with

Tampa Bay). He took 11 of his 13 teams to the playoffs and made 10 straight

playoff appearances from 1999-2008 to best Tom Landry’s nine (1975-83) as

the most by a coach since 1970. Dungy also won six division titles (fi ve AFC

South, one NFC Central) and was the second Colts head coach (joining Shula)

inducted into the team’s Ring of Honor in 2010.

After joining the Colts in 2002, Dungy established Indianapolis as one of the

most successful franchises in the NFL year-in and year-out. He led Indianap-

olis to 10-6, 12-4, 12-4, 14-2, 12-4, 13-3 and 12-4 regular season records to

become the only Colts coach with 10-plus victories and playoff appearances

in his fi rst seven seasons with the team. The seven straight 10-plus victory

seasons tied the NFL’s then second-longest mark, while six straight years with

12-plus wins set the league’s standard. In Indianapolis, Dungy coached 27

Associated Press All-Pro selections, 34 Pro Bowl selections, 38 AFC Player of

the Week selections and 13 AFC Player of the Month selections. Quarterback

Peyton Manning was named NFL MVP four times under Dungy’s tutelage.

Dungy also coached an Offensive and Defensive Player of the Year in Manning

and safety Bob Sanders. He earned Coach of the Year honors from Sporting

News and Sports Illustrated in 2005 after guiding the Colts to a franchise-record

14 wins. In 2008, Indianapolis became the only NFL team to win at least seven

consecutive games in fi ve straight seasons, a mark the franchise extended to

six seasons in 2009 under Jim Caldwell. Dungy (nine) and Caldwell (14) also

combined to help Indianapolis set the NFL record with 23 consecutive regular

season victories from 2008-09. Dungy assisted the Colts in becoming the win-

ningest NFL team for a decade as the club produced 115 wins from 2000-09.

Indianapolis boasted a top fi ve ranked offense for fi ve consecutive seasons

(2003-07) under Dungy, while the defense ranked in the top fi ve in 2007. From

2002-08, Dungy also mentored one of the most disciplined teams in the league

as the Colts committed the third-fewest penalties (622) and held the highest

turnover margin (+70).

Dungy was the head coach of the Buccaneers for six seasons (1996-2001).

He compiled a 54-42 (.563) regular season record and ranks second in wins in

team history. He guided the Buccaneers to four postseason appearances and

three 10-win seasons. In 1998, Dungy led a Tampa Bay defense that ranked

fi rst in the NFC and second in the NFL. He was named Professional Coach of

the Year by the Maxwell Football Club in 1997. In Tampa Bay, Dungy coached

35 Pro Bowl selections and 20 Associated Press All-Pro selections.

Prior to becoming a head coach, Dungy served as the defensive coordinator

for the Minnesota Vikings from 1992-95. During his tenure in Minnesota, the

Vikings intercepted an NFL-high 95 passes and made three playoff appearanc-

es. Dungy was a defensive backs coach for the Kansas City Chiefs from 1989-

1991 and made two playoff appearances. He made his NFL coaching debut

with the Pittsburgh Steelers in 1981 as a defensive assistant coach. He served

as the defensive backs coach in Pittsburgh from 1982-83 before being named

the NFL’s youngest coordinator (age 28) in 1984. In fi ve seasons (1984-88) as

the Steelers’ defensive coordinator, Pittsburgh averaged 24 interceptions and

37 takeaways, while scoring 20 touchdowns. Dungy was the defensive backs

coach at his alma mater, the University of Minnesota, in 1980.

Dungy played in 45 career NFL games with the San Francisco 49ers (1979)

and Pittsburgh Steelers (1977-78). He originally signed with the Steelers as an

undrafted free agent in 1977 and was a member of Pittsburgh’s Super Bowl XIII

title team.

FORMER COLTS HEAD COACH TONY DUNGY

Marvin Harrison is only the second Colts wide receiver

to be selected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame, joining

Raymond Berry, who was inducted in 1973. The Colts

drafted Harrison in the fi rst round (19th overall) of the

1996 NFL Draft out of Syracuse. Harrison played all

13 of his NFL seasons (1996-2008) with Indianapo-

lis and fi nished his career as one of the most prolifi c

receivers to ever play the game. He started 188-of-190

games and totaled 1,102 receptions for 14,580 yards

and 128 touchdowns. Harrison ranks in the top 10

all-time in league history in receptions (third), receiving

touchdowns (fi fth) and receiving yards (seventh). His

90 games with a touchdown reception are a franchise

record and his 29 games with multiple-touchdown receptions ranks tied for the

fourth-most in NFL history. Harrison’s 128 total touchdowns ranks as the ninth-

most in league annals. His 778 career points ranks fourth in Colts history and

fi rst among non-kickers. He had receptions in his fi rst 190 career games to set

the NFL record for the most consecutive games with a catch to start a career.

Harrison’s 5.8 receptions per game average ranks second all-time, while his

76.7 receiving yards per game average ranks third. His 59 100-yard receiving

games are the third most in league history. Harrison is the Colts franchise ca-

reer leader in receptions, receiving yards, receiving touchdowns and 100-yard

receiving games. He played on six division title winning teams and was a mem-

ber of the Colts Super Bowl XLI victory. Harrison was the fourth player inducted

into the Colts Ring of Honor in 2011 and owns 28 Colts career records.

During most of his time in Indianapolis, Harrison paired with quarterback Peyton

Manning as the most productive QB-WR duo in NFL history. Harrison and Man-

ning played in 158 games together and set league records for most completions

(953), yards (12,766) and touchdowns (112) by a tandem. From 1999-2006,

Harrison had eight consecutive 1,000-yard receiving seasons, and he is the

only player ever with eight straight seasons with 1,000-plus receiving yards

and 10-plus scoring receptions. He became the fi rst NFL player with 100-plus

receptions in four consecutive seasons. Harrison joins Pro Football Hall of Fam-

er Jerry Rice and Torry Holt as the only NFL players with 80-plus receptions in

eight consecutive seasons. He holds single-season team records for receptions

(143 in 2002), receiving yards (1,722 in 2002), receiving touchdowns (15 in

2001 and 2004) and 100-yard receiving games (10 in 2002). His 143 receptions

in 2002 are the most single-season receptions in NFL history. Harrison was

an eight-time Pro Bowler and Associated Press All-Pro (1999-2006), two-time

NFL receptions leader (2000, 2002) and receiving yards leader (1999, 2002).

He was named a member of the NFL All-Decade Team (2000-2009). Harrison

earned AFC Offensive Player of the Month honors three times and was named

AFC Offensive Player of the Week four times. He fi nished his career with 100-

plus receiving yardage outings against 27-of-31 teams and had touchdown

receptions against 29-of-31 teams. The Colts won 62 percent of the time with

Harrison in the lineup and in 72.9 percent of the games when he topped 100

receiving yards.

Chuck Pagano has led the team to a 41-23 regular sea-

son record, including three consecutive 11-5 seasons

and playoff appearances from 2012-14. Currently, Paga-

no’s .641 winning percentage ranks fourth among active

head coaches in the NFL. In the process, he became only the second head coach

in NFL history to earn 11 wins in each of his fi rst three seasons with a team and

became the third head coach in Colts history to reach the playoffs in each of his

The Colts fi nished the 2015 season with an 8-8 record and were 4-2 within the

AFC South Division. With a victory in Week 5 at Houston, Indianapolis improved

its consecutive win streak within the AFC South Division to 16 games, which set

and fi rst AFC Championship Game since 2009. The team recorded a perfect

6-0 division record in back-to-back seasons for the fi rst time in franchise history.

In 2013, Indianapolis earned the division title and won an AFC Wild Card Playoff

game against the Kansas City Chiefs that marked the second-largest comeback

in NFL postseason history.

In 2012, the Colts overcame the loss of Pagano to acute promyelocytic leukemia

for 12 games and responded with seven fourth quarter or overtime game-winning

drives en route to an 11-5 campaign. Previously spent four seasons with the Bal-

timore Ravens, the last (2011) as the team’s defensive coordinator. Pagano also

served as the defensive backs coach of the Oakland Raiders (2005-06) and the

• In Week 6 vs. New England (10/18), Indianapolis scored on their opening pos-

session for the fi rst time all season when Donte Moncrief caught a fourth-down

fade pass from Andrew Luck at the 7:16 mark in the fi rst quarter. The scoring

drive consisted of 13 plays over 89 yards. Additionally, the Colts topped 400 total

yards (409) for the fi rst time all season.

• In Week 17 vs. Tennessee (1/3), quarterback Josh Freeman started the game

• In 2015, the Colts allowed only 156 kickoff return yards, which is an NFL record.

The Baltimore Ravens with 229 in 2015 and the Brooklyn Dodgers with 225 in

the Super Bowl era in 1970. The Colts are followed by the 2015 Baltimore Ra-

vens (85.1) and 1992 Denver Broncos (78.8).

fi rst time in his career.

• In Week 6 vs. New England (10/18), Adams intercepted Patriots quarterback

Tom Brady and returned the ball 14 yards for a touchdown. It was Adams’ third

interception in the last two games and his second career interception returned

69-yard interception for a touchdown.

• In Week 9 vs. Denver (11/8), he fi nished with one tackle, one interception and

one pass defensed before leaving the game with an ankle injury in the second

quarter. His interception of Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning in the second

career.

Denver Broncos. The forced fumble was his second of the season.

• In Week 15 vs. Houston (12/20), he made his 100th career start and fi nished

tackle and fi nished with 10 tackles (eight solo) and 3.0 tackles for loss.

WR-QUAN BRAY

28, 2014.

• In Week 15 vs. Houston (12/20), he returned four punts for 67 yards (16.8 avg.)

(26.7 avg.). He returned a punt 33 yards in the second quarter, which was the

longest punt return for the team dating back to Dec. 15, 2013 (Griff Whalen, 51

yards). Bray added 19 yards on his next return and fi nished with 67 in the game.

That total is tied for the most in a contest dating back to Nov. 25, 2012 (T.Y.

Hilton, 111 yards).

CB-DARIUS BUTLER

• In Week 9 vs. Denver (11/8), he registered two tackles, one interception and

one pass defensed en route to being named AFC Defensive Player of the Week.

In Week 16 at Miami, Colts outside linebacker Robert Mathis fi nished

with fi ve tackles (four solo) and 2.0 sacks. He recorded his fi rst sack in

the second quarter when he brought down Dolphins quarterback Ryan

Tannehill for an eight-yard loss on third down and forced Miami to punt.

Down 18-12 with 40 seconds left in the game, the Dolphins possessed

the ball with fi rst-and-goal from the Colts fi ve-yard line. After three con-

secutive incompletions, Mathis sealed the victory for Indianapolis when

he sacked Tannehill on fourth down to record his 29th career multi-

ple-sack game, which extended a franchise record.

Mathis was named AFC Defensive Player of the Week for Week 16. It

marked the fourth time in his career that he earned the award (Week 7

in 2005, Week 13 in 2008, Week 16 in 2011).

MATHIS PLAYER OF THE WEEK

In Week 16 at Miami, Colts DE-Kendall Langford, OLB-Robert Mathis

and DT-T.Y. McGill each recorded 2.0 sacks. It marked the fi rst time

Indianapolis had three players with multiple sacks in one game since

Sept. 4, 1983 (Greg Bracelin, Vernon Maxwell and Donnell Thompson).

The teams’ 6.0 sacks on the day were a season-high and the most

dating back to Nov. 30, 2014 against Washington (6.0).

tice squad, Bray was signed to the active roster on Oct. 27 and inserted
