Kansas City Chiefs Franchise History

By Darin Hayes 📅 2024-08-21
The Kansas City Chiefs, with their vibrant red and yellow jerseys and roaring fans, are synonymous with NFL excellence today. But their journey began not in Kansas City, but across the state line in Dallas, as the Dallas Texans. Founded in 1960 by Lamar Hunt, the Texans were part of the upstart American Football League (AFL) that challenged the NFL's dominance.

The Texans made an immediate impact, winning the AFL Championship in their second year under the legendary coach Hank Stram (pictured below). However, Dallas proved an unsuitable market for two professional football teams, and in 1963, the Texans made the bold move to relocate to Kansas City, becoming the Kansas City Chiefs.

Kansas City embraced the Chiefs with open arms. Led by the electrifying quarterback Len Dawson, the team quickly established itself as a force in the AFL. They battled against iconic figures like Joe Namath and the New York Jets, culminating in a 23-7 victory in Super Bowl I, the AFL's crowning moment before merging with the NFL.

The Chiefs continued their success in the merged league, reaching the Super Bowl four times in the 1970s. However, they couldn't overcome the Oakland Raiders, losing each time. Finally, in 1983, under the leadership of coach Marty Schottenheimer and the magical play of quarterback Joe Montana brought happier days, but not titles.


The following years saw the rise and fall of Chiefs legends like Derrick Thomas and Tony Gonzalez. The team experienced periods of both triumph and struggle, but never lost its passionate fanbase.

In 2013, a new era began with the arrival of Andy Reid as head coach and Patrick Mahomes as quarterback. Mahomes, with his gunslinging style and athleticism, quickly became a fan favorite and one of the league's most exciting young players.

In 2020, the Chiefs, led by Mahomes' MVP season, finally scaled the mountain again, defeating the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl LIV. It was a moment of pure joy for a city that had waited 50 years for another championship.

Today, the Kansas City Chiefs stand as one of the NFL's most successful and exciting teams. From their humble beginnings in Texas to their triumphant return to Kansas City, their story is one of resilience, passion, and a never-say-die attitude.
