Kansas City Chiefs All - Time Team

The Kansas City Chiefs were an original member of the rival American Football League. Owner Lamar Hunt had spent years trying to get an NFL team. He got nowhere with those efforts and decided to do things himself. The AFL was his idea and his baby. The Chiefs were originally the Dallas Texans. They played as such for three seasons and won the AFL title in 1962. In 1963, Hunt moved his team to Kansas City and became the Chiefs. Throughout the AFL’s existence (1960-69), the Texans/Chiefs were a contending team. They represented the AFL in Super Bowl’s I and IV, losing Super Bowl I to the Green Bay Packers and (sadly) winning Super Bowl over the Minnesota Vikings. The 1960s were great years for the Chiefs. Recent years have been even better. With the coaching of Andy Reid and quarterbacking of Patrick Mahomes, the Chiefs will be playing in their fourth Super Bowl in five years. The Chiefs won Super Bowl Super Bowl LIV over the San Francisco 49ers, lost Super Bowl LV to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and won Super Bowl LVII over the Philadelphia Eagles. In advance of the their Super Bowl rematch with the 49ers in Super Bowl LVIII, here are some of the best players in the franchise history of the Kansas City Chiefs.
