    The NFL is giving Colts fans the chance to relive the glory days thanks to a surprising player

    Two of the biggest games in the history of the Indianapolis Colts are scheduled to be broadcasted on NFL Network on Tuesday, July 2.

    These games were selected by Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Mike Evans as a part of "NFL Network's Player's Choice" programming series.


    The majority of Evan's selections were games he played with the Buccaneers outside of two games. The two biggest wins by the Colts during their Super Bowl run during the 2006-2007 season. The first being the team's 2006 AFC Championship win over the New England Patriots. A game where Hall of Fame QB Peyton Manning led the Colts to a comeback victory down 21 to 3 to win in regulation 38 to 34. I'm sure all Colts fans remember Marlon Jackson intercepting Tom Brady to ice the game and send the Colts to the Super Bowl.


    The next was a game even sweeter, which is hard to believe when the AFC Championship win was over the team's biggest rival. But Evans chose for the Colts Super Bowl win over the Chicago Bears to directly follow the team's AFC Championship win. The Colts won Super Bowl XLI over the Bears by a score of 29 to 17 to help Manning win his first and only Super Bowl with the Colts. He completed 25 of his 38 pass attempts for 247 yards, one touchdown, and one interception to help him be named Super Bowl XLI MVP.

    The Colts are currently working towards that level of success in this new era of Colts football under GM Chris Ballard and head coach Shane Steichen. But if you want to relive the feeling of seeing your favorite team reach the mountain top, grab your popcorn and tune in to NFL Network on Tuesday, July 2, at 3 pm and 4:30 pm Eastern Standard Time.
