  • The 1969 Kansas City Chiefs season was the team's tenth, their seventh in Kansas City, and the final season of the American Football League (AFL). It resulted in an 11–3 regular season record and three postseason road victories, including a 23–7 victory in Super Bowl IV over the NFL's heavily favored Minnesota Vikings. After two close losses to division rival Oakland in the regular season, the visiting Chiefs upset the Raiders in the final AFL Championship Game, claiming their third AFL title. The Chiefs were led by head coach Hank Stram, quarterback Len Dawson, and a powerful defense led by Bobby Bell, Willie Lanier, Buck Buchanan, Emmitt Thomas, Johnny Robinson, and Curley Culp. The Chiefs' defense became the fourth defense in the history of pro football to lead its league in fewest rushing yards, fewest passing yards and fewest total yards. The Chiefs were the second AFL team to win the Super Bowl and last AFL team to do so before the AFL-NFL Merger in the following season. The season was marred not only by an injury to quarterback Len Dawson, but also controversy surrounding Dawson and his purported involvement in a sports gambling ring. Back-up quarterback Mike Livingston and the Chiefs' stellar defense led the Chiefs back to the Super Bowl, this time, to win it all. Along with owner Lamar Hunt, nine future Hall of Famers were members of the 1969 Chiefs, including QB Len Dawson, LB Willie Lanier, LB Bobby Bell, DT Buck Buchanan, DT Curley Culp, CB Emmitt Thomas, S Johnny Robinson, K Jan Stenerud, and head coach Hank Stram. In 2006, the 1969 Kansas City Chiefs were ranked as the 18th greatest Super Bowl champions on the NFL Network's documentary America's Game: The Super Bowl Champions. In 2007, ESPN.com ranked the 1969 Chiefs as the seventh-greatest defense in NFL history, noting "Hank Stram's 'Triple Stack' defense, which gave the linebackers lots of room to roam, was superb, holding five opponents to fewer than 10 points and giving up an average of less than two touchdowns a game.... Then they got serious. Against the [defending] Super Bowl champion Jets in the AFL divisional playoff game at Shea Stadium, the Chiefs held on for a 13–6 victory, thanks to a remarkable three-play goal line stand that stifled the Jets on the one. After losing twice to the Raiders during the regular season, the Chiefs allowed a single touchdown, in the first quarter, to win the AFL title over Oakland 17–7. The Chiefs defense then stifled the Vikings in the Super Bowl, allowing only two rushing first downs and picking off three passes in the fourth quarter to win 23–7. Total points against the Chiefs in the playoffs: 20." Kansas City is the only team in the Super Bowl era to win the title without allowing as much as 10 points in any postseason game. The Chiefs did not return to or win the Super Bowl again until Super Bowl LIV in the 2019 season. (en)
  • La stagione 1969 dei Kansas City Chiefs è stata la decima e ultima della franchigia nell'American Football League. La stagione regolare si chiuse con un record di 11–3 fino alla vittoria per 23–7 nel Super Bowl IV sui favoriti Minnesota Vikings della NFL. La squadra in precedenza aveva battuto gli Oakland Raiders nella finale di lega, conquistando il terzo titolo AFL della sua storia. I Chiefs erano allenati da Hank Stram, guidati dal quarterback Len Dawson e potevano contare su una forte difesa trascinata a Bobby Bell, Willie Lanier, Buck Buchanan, Emmitt Thomas, Johnny Robinson and Curley Culp. Tale difesa divenne la quarta nella storia del football a guidare la lega in yard concesse, yard passate concesse e yard totali concesse. I Chiefs divennero la seconda squadra della AFL a vincere il Super Bowl e l'ultima prima della fusione AFL-NFL, avvenuta l'anno successivo. La stagione fu caratterizzata non solo dall'infortunio del quarterback Dawson ma anche sul suo presunto coinvolgimento in uno scandalo di scommesse sportive. La sua riserva Mike Livingston e la difesa dei Chiefs riportarono i Chiefs al Super Bowl, questa volta vincendolo. Oltre al proprietario Lamar Hunt, nove futuri Hall of Famer furono membri dei Chiefs del 1969: il QB Len Dawson, i LB Willie Lanier e Bobby Bell, il DT Buck Buchanan, il DT Curley Culp, il CB Emmitt Thomas, la S Johnny Robinson, il K Jan Stenerud e l'allenatore Hank Stram. Nel 2006, i Kansas City Chiefs del 1969 furono classificati come i diciottesimi migliori vincitori della storia del Super Bowl dal documentario di NFL Network America's Game: The Super Bowl Champions. Nel 2007, ESPN.com classificò la difesa dei Chiefs del 1969 come la settima migliore della storia. I Chiefs non avrebbero fatto ritorno, e vinto, il Super Bowl fino al 2019. (it)
