Kansas City Chiefs

The Kansas City Chiefs started out as the Dallas Texans for three seasons. As the Texans, the team clinched the AFL crown after winning in a historical double overtime game against the Oilers. Immediately after that, the team moved to Kansas City because they were lacking financial support from the city government of Dallas.

The Texans became the Kansas City Chiefs when the 1963 season of the AFL began. The Kansas City Chiefs during that time was the face of the AFL as the owner of the team was also the founder of the League, Lamar Hunt. The name “Chiefs” referred to the nickname of the town mayor of Kansas City who founded the Tribe of Mic-O-Say and was referred to as H. Roe “The Chief” Bartle. The Mayor himself talked to the Hunt about transferring the team to his area with a promise of higher ticket sales.

The team made an impression in the NFL for the first time when they became the representative of the AFL-NFL championships, which is also known as the first Super Bowl. The Chiefs would lose to the Green Bay Packers who were under the care of legendary coach, Vince Lombardi. During that time, teams from the AFL were regarded as the weaker teams. All these tags were erased when the Kansas City Chiefs crushed the Vikings in a convincing 23-7 win in Super Bowl IV. The Chiefs’ win in the Super Bowl IV would be their only win in a Super Bowl setting. Since the official merger of 1970, the Chiefs have had 11 playoff appearances, but they have yet to make a Super Bowl appearance.
