In an era when the Kansas City Chiefs are mostly known for their offense, with the NFL’s best offensive coach, its most dynamic quarterback, and one of the best receiving corps in recent memory, it’s easy to forget that the great Chiefs teams of yesteryear were largely predicated on the defensive side of the ball.
A lot of credit for the Chiefs only Super Bowl victory, at the end of the 1969 season, in today’s revisionist history goes to Len Dawson. This is not in any way a shot at Dawson, a Hall of Famer and one of the greatest and most important Chiefs of all time.
