1969
The New York Jets, and were defeated 16-7.
Yes they played against the Baltimore Colts and beat them in Superbowl III.
Super Bowl III was the first Super Bowl to actually be called a "Super Bowl." Things were a bit different then than they are now. Back then, the Colts were the Baltimore Colts, a team in the "NFL" (now the NFC) while the Jets were in the AFL (now the AFC) as they are to this day. The year after this game was played, the colts, the browns and the steelers became part of the newly formed AFC as part of the 1970 merger. This made them the only team in NFL history to play a former super bowl opponent as a divisional opponent.
Colts
As of the beginning of the 2013 season, the Colts franchise has been in four Super Bowls, two while in Baltimore and two in Indianapolis:1) Super Bowl III - New York Jets 16, Baltimore Colts 72) Super Bowl V - Baltimore Colts 13, Dallas Cowboys 103) Super Bowl XLI - Indianapolis Colts 29, Chicago Bears 174) Super Bowl XLIV - New Orleans Saints 31, Indianapolis Colts 17
The Cowboys did not play in Super Bowl IV. They did play in Super Bowl V and lost to the Baltimore Colts.
The Indianapolis Colts.
Yes, but not by how well they play but by the luck of the draw. Stadiums that are chosen to host a Super Bowl are selected four years in advance of the game they will host. Therefore, it is possible that a team could play a Super Bowl in it's home stadium. Super Bowl XLV will be held in the Cowboys Stadium, Super Bowl XLVI in the Colts stadium, Super Bowl XLVII in the Saints stadium, and Super Bowl XLVIII in the Giants/Jets stadium. If the Cowboys make the Super Bowl this year (2010), the Colts next year, the Saints two years from now, or the Giants/Jets three years from now they will, in essence, being playing a home game.
