Early History

The team was originally founded in 1960 as the Dallas Texans, as part of the American Football League. In just their third season they defeated the Houston Oilers to win the AFL Championship in 1962. After sharing Dallas with the Oilers for a their first few years, the owners were persuaded to move the team. The team was moved to Kansas City and were renamed the Chiefs. In 1966, the Chiefs returned to the playoffs, making it to Super Bowl I, which at that time was a challenge trophy pitting the NFL champion against the AFL champion. The Chiefs however were defeated by the Green Bay Packers. In 1969, their final year before the NFL-AFL merger, the Chiefs returned to the Super Bowl. They defeated the Minnesota Vikings 23-7 for their first full championship.
