The Colts were the 4th team in as many seasons to finish with a single victory, as the 1989 Dallas Cowboys and 1990 New England Patriots each duplicated that mark. However, the 1991 Colts had a much weaker schedule to play than either the 1990 Patriots or 1989 Cowboys, playing eleven games against teams with non-winning records, as against only five for the 1990 Patriots and four for the 1989 Cowboys. Their only victory came against their division rivals, the New York Jets, in Week 11 at Giants Stadium (the Colts went 0–8 at home in the Hoosier Dome).
