Some images are iconic enough to have a special power: you see them and immediately recognize them – and you recognize the story tied to what you see and the feelings attached to it. The NFL is full of such images. Dwight Clark extending to make "The Catch". Scott Norwood's kick sailing wide right. Malcolm Butler's game-clinching interception.
That image was created on March 28, 1984 when the franchise left its home town of 31 years to move to the city of Indianapolis at the behest of owner Robert Irsay.
