The Kansas City Chiefs: From Humble Beginnings to Super Bowl Domination (with a Dash of Pickaxe Pete)
Ah, the Kansas City Chiefs. A team steeped in history, passionate fans, and enough ketchup to drown a linebacker (looking at you Arrowhead!). But before we dive into their recent trophy haul, let's take a quick trip down memory lane.

| What is The Kansas City Chiefs Record |
From Wild West to Wild Card:
QuickTip: A careful read saves time later.
The Chiefs weren't always Kansas City's kings. They started out as the Dallas Texans in the AFL (think the cool, renegade cousin of the NFL). Back then, their mascot wasn't a courageous warrior, but a guy named Pickaxe Pete, a gold miner swinging a pickaxe (yes, you read that right). Let's just say he wasn't exactly striking fear into the hearts of opponents.
Thankfully, they migrated to Kansas City in 1963 and adopted the fierce warrior mascot we know today. Their success followed suit, with the team boasting the winningest record in AFL history. They even snagged a couple of Super Bowl appearances in the 70s.
QuickTip: Skim fast, then return for detail.
The Andy Reid Era: Mahomes Mania Takes Hold
Fast forward to 2013, and the arrival of a fiery-haired head coach named Andy Reid. Paired with the young gun Patrick Mahomes in 2018, the Chiefs became an offensive juggernaut. Their record since? An impressive 144-58, including a stretch of nine consecutive playoff appearances and eight straight AFC West titles.
Tip: Reread sections you didn’t fully grasp.
Speaking of titles, the Chiefs have been to four Super Bowls in the last six years, taking home the Lombardi trophy a cool three times (LIV, LVII, LVIII). Not too shabby, huh?
