Throughout the season, the Colts wore a patch to recognize the 30th season since their move to Indianapolis.

In the AFC wild card game against the Kansas City Chiefs, the Colts rallied to turn a 38–10 Chiefs' lead into a 45–44 victory for the second-largest comeback in NFL playoff history. It is behind the Buffalo Bills who rallied from a 32-point deficit in the 1993 AFC Wild Card Game. The Colts' season came to an end with a 43–22 loss to the New England Patriots in the divisional round. 3 2013 NFL draft 2013 NFL draft 2013 Indianapolis Colts 1 24 Björn Werner DE Florida State 3 86 Hugh Thornton OG Illinois 4 121 Khaled Holmes C USC 5 139 Montori Hughes DT Tennessee-Martin Pick from CLE 6 192 John Boyett S Oregon 7 230 Kerwynn Williams RB Utah State 7 254 Justice Cunningham TE South Carolina Notes The team traded its second-round selection (No. 54 overall) to the Miami Dolphins in exchange for cornerback Vontae Davis.

The Colts–Patriots rivalry had become one of the most known in modern era sports. However, they did play each other in playoffs. One highlight of the 2013 Colts season was a trip to San Francisco to play the 49ers. This game marked the return of starting quarterback Andrew Luck to the San Francisco Bay Area, where he played three seasons of college football at Stanford University, which for his first two years there was coached by Jim Harbaugh, then-coach of the 49ers. Luck got the better of his old coach with a 27–7 statement victory.

The Colts would respond with a long drive of their own, however they would be able to put it into the endzone, settling instead for an Adam Vinatieri field goal.Chappell Mike Indianapolis Colts' mistakes lead to big plays by the Miami Dolphins http://www.indystar.com/article/20130915/SPORTS03/309150049/Colts-mistakes-lead-big-plays-by-Dolphins Indianapolis Star September 15, 2013 October 7, 2013 The Dolphins would strike again, this time scoring in just two plays following a Tannehill 67-yard pass and a Lamar Miller touchdown run. The Colts, who entered the second quarter trailing 14–3, quickly scored their first touchdown on the day with an Andrew Luck pass to tight end Coby Fleener. After trading possessions, the Indianapolis offense would strike again, scoring their second touchdown of the quarter and taking the first lead of the day, though it would be taken away by a Caleb Sturgis field goal to end the half, with the teams going into halftime tied at 17. Indianapolis would drive down on their first possession of the second half, though a touchdown would be nullified by an illegal shift penalty and forcing the Colts to settle for a field goal. Midway through the third quarter, the Dolphins would score the go ahead touchdown on a Charles Clay run, putting them ahead 24–20. On their last offensive possession of the day, Luck and the Colts would drive down to the Miami 23-yard line, though the comeback would fall short following a sack of Luck on fourth down.Rietmann Tom Tannehill Powers Miami Past Colts http://www.colts.com/news/article-1/Tannehill-Powers-Miami-Past-Colts/db3bccb3-3ed6-4418-9791-23228c271860 Colts.com September 15, 2013 October 7, 2013 https://web.archive.org/web/20131021121718/http://www.colts.com/news/article-1/Tannehill-Powers-Miami-Past-Colts/db3bccb3-3ed6-4418-9791-23228c271860 October 21, 2013 dead With the loss, the Colts went to 1–1 on the season and lost their first home game since September 23, 2012.
