The Kansas City Chiefs joined the American Football League in 1960 as the Dallas Texans, moving to Kansas City, Missouri, and renaming themselves the Chiefs in 1963. Throughout the 1960s, the Chiefs were one of the AFL's most dominant teams. They appeared in two Super Bowls, losing Super Bowl I to the Green Bay Packers in 1967 and beating the Minnesota Vikings (thanks to the excellent passing of quarterback Len Dawson and a 48-yard field goal by kicker Jan Stenerud) to claim Super Bowl IV in 1970. But the Chiefs would remain out of the ultimate game in American football until their 2019 season put them into Super Bowl LIV in 2020 against the San Francisco 49ers.
After the promise of the 1960s, the Chiefs struggled in the '70s and '80s, making poor drafting choices (the team could have had Dan Marino in 1983). By the late 1980s, team owner Lamar Hunt had finally had enough, hiring a new general manager who would hire a new head coach, Marty Shottenheimer. As head coach of the Cleveland Browns, Shottenheimer had piled up a respectable regular season record and two trips to the AFC Championship, both of which ended in losses to the Denver Broncos. In his decade with the Chiefs, Shottenheimer would continue to bring his team to the playoffs (seven times), but never to a Super Bowl.
