They've also both had embarrassing drunks (Leonard Little and Jim Irsay). Both always had incredible offense but lacking defense. Both had a HOF coach (Dungy and Vermeil)

The real difference between the two franchises the last 15 years is one fleeced another team for multiple first round picks (The Rams and the RGIII trade) while the other got fleeced in one of the worst trades in recent memory (Richardson trade). Advantage: Rams.
Record over the past 20 years:
St. Louis Rams: 130-190
Indianapolis Colts: 185-135

Playoff Appearances:
St. Louis Rams: 5
Indianapolis Colts: 13

Seasons at .500 or above:
St. Louis Rams: 5
Indianapolis Colts: 15

Advantage:
Rams
