The 1969 Baltimore Colts season was the 17th season for the team in the National Football League . The Baltimore Colts finished the National Football League 's 1969 season with a record of 8 wins, 5 losses and 1 tie. They finished second in the Western Conference's Coastal division.
Coach Don Shula was let go after the season, a disappointing one many attributed to the hangover of losing to the heavy-underdog Jets in the Super Bowl the year before. It is one of the first instances of a Super Bowl hangover – in which the team that lost a Super Bowl underperforms a year later.
