* Normal starter returned from injury/rest.
1 Backup QB Tom Savage injured his knee in the same game.
2 Mallett missed the team flight to Miami for Week 7 and was cut after the game.
3 Mills and Jeff Driskel are both listed as starting QBs for the Week 16 game against the Chiefs. Driskel passed on the first play; PFR goes with Driskel alone. YMMV.

1 Many of the 1953 Colts, including Taliaferro, were members of the 1952 Dallas Texans, but the NFL considers the 1952 Dallas Texans to be a separate and now-defunct franchise.
2 Kerkorian spent the 1953 season playing rugby in Australia.
3 Colts coach Don McCafferty refused to bench Unitas when when Colts general manager Joe Thomas asked him to do so in both Weeks 4 and 5. McCafferty was fired after Week 5.
4 Hogeboom never went on strike.
5 The late-season 1988 Colts occasionally used a wishbone formation using former college option QB Ricky Turner.
6 Pro Football Reference mistakenly lists Trudeau as the starter for Week 3 and George as the starter for Week 8.
7 Harbaugh broke his hand punching former Bills QB Jim Kelly, who had called Harbaugh a “baby” on a local Buffalo television show the previous week.
