Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl History

After an enthralling NFL season, the Super Bowl LIV matchup has been set. The San Francisco 49ers and Kansas City Chiefs will meet at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami in early February.

It goes without saying that these are two of the league's most storied franchises, but it's been quite a while since either as hoisted the Lombardi Trophy.

With that in mind, let's take a stroll down memory lane and highlight the Chiefs' history in the Super Bowl. After all, this will mark the franchise's first appearance in 50 years.

1969: Chiefs vs Vikings

The 1969 season was a special one for Kansas City as it marked the organization's first (and only) Super Bowl win. The Chiefs went 11-3 during the regular season and disposed of the Jets and Raiders by a combined score of 30-13 en route to the Super Bowl.

They Chiefs met Minnesota in the SB, and frankly, it wasn't a contest. The Chiefs rode its defense and quarterback Len Dawson, who was named MVP while throwing for 142 yards and one touchdown, to victory in Super Bowl III.

1967: Chiefs vs Packers

If this date looks familiar, it should. This Chiefs-Packers matchup stood as the first ever Super Bowl. Unfortunately, it wasn't much of a game as Green Bay bludgeoned KC 35-10. It was so lopsided that the aforementioned Dawson was spotted smoking a cigarette at halftime.

Packers QB Bart Starr was named MVP after throwing for 250 yards and two TDs.

It's still iconic.

Well, that marks the end of the Chiefs' Super Bowl appearances. It wasn't a rich history lesson, that's for sure, and this year's squad will be looking to give Kansas City its third world championship.
