KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- In terms of talent, the Kansas City Chiefs of the late 1960s and early 1970s can match up proudly with the glory era of just about any other franchise. Those Chiefs teams put nine members in the Pro Football Hall of Fame, including six defensive players, a quarterback, a kicker and the head coach.
That group was responsible for the Chiefs' only world championship, a win in Super Bowl IV over the Minnesota Vikings 50 years ago, as well as the franchise's only other title game appearance, a loss in Super Bowl I against the Green Bay Packers.
