Chiefs History

Despite an 0-2 start, Kansas City bounced back to win five of its next six contests to sit 5-3 at the season's midway point. The Chiefs faced Seattle (10/2) in a Monday Night Football contest which was simulcast to 4,391 fans in Kauffman Stadium. The 82,893 fans assembled at Arrowhead and Kauffman Stadiums marked the largest on-site attendance figure in team history. The club's early-season success was also highlighted by a 54-34 win over the defending Super Bowl champion St. Louis Rams (10/22), a contest which featured the most points ever scored at Arrowhead. However, a stretch of five road games over a six-week span took its toll on the club as the Chiefs dropped five straight contests to fall out of playoff contention, finishing the year at 7-9.

After compiling a 16-16 record in two seasons, Cunningham was relieved of his duties on January 5th. Dick Vermeil, who guided St. Louis to a win in Super Bowl XXXIV following the ‘99 season, was named the ninth head coach in franchise history on January 12th. On April 20th, the club acquired QB Trent Green in a trade with St. Louis and also signed unrestricted free agent RB Priest Holmes.

The initial regular season victory of the Vermeil era came in convincing fashion at Washington (9/30) when the Chiefs defeated their former head coach Marty Schottenheimer and the Redskins by a 45-13 margin. Although the club finished its initial campaign under Vermeil at 6-10, the team began to take shape down the stretch, winning three of its final four games. Holmes provided a spark to the offense, becoming just the second player in franchise history to lead the NFL in rushing, amassing 1,555 yards to break Christian Okoye's previous single-season record of 1,480.

Stram guided his team to a league-record third AFL title in the 1969 season. The club’s standouts included tackle Buck Buchanan and linebackers Bobby Bell and Willie Lanier, all future Hall of Fame members. The offense starred Dawson, tight end Fred Arbanas, kicker Jan Stenerud, and offensive linemen Ed Budde and Jim Tyrer. The Chiefs upset the heavily favored Minnesota Vikings 23-7 in the Super Bowl.

Kansas City joined the NFL in 1970 when the NFL and AFL completed their merger. In 1971 Stram led the Chiefs to the AFC Western Division title in their second year in the league. That year, in a double-overtime divisional playoff game on Christmas Day, the Miami Dolphins defeated Kansas City in the longest game in NFL history. It lasted 82 minutes 40 seconds.

The Chiefs suffered a 14-season playoff drought from 1972 to 1985, finishing as high as second place only twice. In 1986 Kansas City returned to the playoffs with a strong defense that included safety Deron Cherry, who topped the AFC in interceptions in 1985 and 1986.

In 1990 second-year head coach Marty Schottenheimer guided the Chiefs to the first of six consecutive trips to the playoffs. The club brought together veteran superstars Marcus Allen and Joe Montana in 1993. That year Kansas City won its first division crown since 1971. Throughout the mid- and late 1990s, the Chiefs remained one of the AFC’s tougher teams.
