Chiefs Meet your 1963 Kansas City Chiefs

Found this old Chiefs promo film on You Tube. Pretty interesting stuff. Merle Harmon was one of the first play by play guys for the Chiefs in KC -kinda like the 1963 version of Mitch Houlthaus. You see lots of players who are on the ring of honor at Arrowhead that you may have never seen before, like Burford, McClinton, Haynes and Arbanas. Pretty cool. A lot of the plays are plays the Chiefs still run today, like Jet sweeps, quick outs to the boundary and...believe it or not...actual TD passes to wide outs. Gosh, if we could just figure out how to do that now! Also check the end zone, how the old right field wall of Municipal Stadium runs right behind the end zone line. Easy to go head first into the wall, no padding! Those guys were tough then. 20 minutes, enjoy!
