Former Baltimore Colt Raymond Berry was voted into the NFL Hall of Fame in 1973 after a stellar career as a receiver. Berry won two NFL titles with the Colts and was also a six-time NFL All-Pro and Pro-Bowl selection in his 13-year career. He led the league in receptions three times and finished his career with a then-NFL-record 631 receptions for 9,275 yards and 68 touchdowns. His No. 82 jersey is retired in his honor.

Streak for the ages

It was only a 3-yard pass, hardly worth watching on a highlights film. John Unitas, the Colts' rookie quarterback, flipped the ball to his tight end, who fell into the end zone.

Colts earned special place in city's heart

Passion persisted until the end, 35 years of emotional ties to a team and its memories that elevated the Baltimore Colts to a position of being a civic heirloom.
