With the help of H. Roe Bartle the franchise would be moved to Kansas in 1963. They would change their name to the Kansas City Chiefs in honor of the mayor and his nickname "the Chief." The Chiefs would play in many playoffs and championships until the 1966 AFL-NFL merger from sportsecyclopedia. The merger would force the two leagues to play as one and would have a championship from the winners of both Leagues called the Super Bowl. The chiefs would make it to the first Super Bowl to face the Green Bay Packers but would loose 35-10. After the Super Bowl Kansas city would slowly fall in the rankings for most of the 70's. After their Super Bowl IV win against the Vikings the Chiefs haven't won a championship. After a long period of loses and staffing changes the Chief made a run for the title in 1993. They would acquire Joe Montana and Marcus Allen for experience reported by CBSsports. The Chiefs had an successful year and tried to continue the run in the playoffs. They would fight all the way to the championship to lose to the Buffalo Bills in a 30-13 lost.
After their run the team's overall record was steadily improved but have yet to make it to the championship. They would go on to recruit top players such as Priest Holmes, Tony Gonzales, Larry Johnson, Trent Green, Willie Roaf, and coordinator Al Saunders. 2006 marked a historic year or the club. They would bring in former New York Jets coach Herm Edwards who already proves he is worthy of the position. In 2007 Herm Edwards released quarterback Trent Green to the Miami Dolphins. Since the trade the chief have struggled to find a starting quarterback that could fill his shoes. Many feel the coach's decision put more stress on the organization to create a winning season.
