Kansas City Chiefs

Kansas City Chiefs

The Kansas City Chiefs are a professional American football team in Kansas City, Missouri. The team was founded in 1960 as the Dallas Texans, a charter member of the American Football League (AFL). In 1963, the team relocated to Kansas City and assumed their current name, joining the NFL in the 1970 AFL–NFL merger. The Chiefs won three AFL championships, in 1962, 1966 and 1969 and became the second AFL team (after the New York Jets) to defeat an NFL team in an AFL–NFL World Championship Game when they defeated the Minnesota Vikings in Super Bowl IV.

When I was a kid we lived in Kansas City and the Chiefs were my favorite team. I had a team pennant hanging on my bedroom wall - a big deal at the time.
