The Chiefs are an original American Football League (AFL) franchise with origins back to 1960. They began in Dallas and were christened the “Texans.” Their owner was Lamar Hunt, who tried to get the established National Football League (NFL) to grant him an expansion team.
At the time, the NFL was only 12 clubs. The Baltimore Colts had just won back-to-back championship seasons. Two teams called California home, whereas the rest of the league called the east or Midwest home.
