America's Game: The Super Bowl Champions
America's Game #18: 1969 Chiefs
S1 E3:
After losing the first ever Super Bowl, the Kansas City Chiefs wanted to prove they could win against the mighty NFL. In 1969, the Chiefs would not only go on to play in Super Bowl IV, they were able to defeat the heavily favored Minnesota Vikings to win their only Super Bowl title. Willie Lanier, Jim Lynch, and Len Dawson discuss the 1970 season and how their championship season came to be. They would have to overcome many obstacles including injuries, their rivals the Oakland Raiders in the AFC Championship, and an alleged gambling scandal that almost cost Len Dawson his career. In what would be the final NFL/AFL Super Bowl, the Kansas City Chiefs not only made a city proud but also left a mark in NFL history.
