Top 5 Wins in Chiefs history
 

1. Super Bowl IV. Chiefs-23, Vikings-7
2. 1969 AFL Championship. Chiefs-17, Raiders-7
3. 2015 Wildcard. Chiefs-30, Texans-0
4. 1966 AFL Championship. Chiefs-31, Bills-7
5. 1993 Divisional. Chiefs-28, Oilers-20

I couldn't find any better option for number 3. It's crazy that game meant so much.

Hope Mahomes can bring us into a new era!

Don't forget that one time we beat the bills on Monday night and ended the patriots dynasty at arrowhead.

Regular season wins mean more to true fans than playoff and Super Bowl victories.

Good call. There have to be five.

Kind of a sad list...

I would put beating the Oilers ahead of the Texans though....they were on a 11 game winning streak.

Damn, Houston must hate KC like we do the Colts.

That Texans game is way way to high.

1. Super Bowl 4
2. 1962 AFL Championship (2nd longest game in pro football history)
3. 1993 Oilers Playoff Game
4. 1969 AFL Championship Game
5. Montana-Elway MNF (huge game in NFL lore)

Other playoff wins better than the Texans - Steelers in 1993. Jets in 1969. 1991 first playoff win in Arrowhead.

Agree. I wouldnt even have that Texans game in the top 5.

If it is a top 5 win, thats embarrassing.

This is one for sure that the OP missed. I remember watching that game and going from a high to a low to ecstatic!

Eh. I liked the game Marcus Allen scored his 100th TD on the Raiders and stuck it to Al Davis. You could read All Davis lips say fudge only he said ****.

Technically you could say all three playoff wins from 1969 were bigger than the Texans win.

30-0 was still a big win. Otherwise we'd be like the Browns, Lions, and Bengals. No playoff wins since the 90's:cuss:

The Texans blowout was a wonderful game

Superbowl 4
Oilers playoff game
Joe Montana vs Elway mnf
Beating the fade in the playoffs , after beating them to barely get a wildcard spot IIRC

Dt 7 sacks

Tamarack van over joy

Every win the Cheufs have is a top 5 win.

No love for the 66' AFL championship? Number 3 on my list behind SB IV and 69' ALF championship.

I vote for the ass kickin we're getting ready to serve up Thursday to this invincible dynasty that's supposed to go 19-0 this year.

The joystick defeats the Broncos game.

The Doink heard round the world.

Grbac to Rison.

Took the day off Friday. Don't want to be depressed at the office . The beat down is near .

Watched the end of the Montana-Elway game on YouTube. At first I couldn't recall why this game had been purged from my memory....then saw Elliott pull the extra point so hard he almost missed it and remembered why.

Agreed. If this is a list of most important wins (as opposed to most enjoyable or something), you have to rate the 1966 AFL championship and 1962 AFL championships up high. The '66 game put the Chiefs in Super Bowl I, which was historic, and the '62 game put the Chiefs on the map with an overtime win.

In terms of important wins, you have to go...

1. Super Bowl IV
2. 1969 AFL championship
3. 1966 AFL championship
4. 1962 AFL championship
5. 30-0 Texans win, just because of the drought that it broke and the playoff losing streak that it broke.

The 1993 playoff runs were enormous fun and got the Chiefs to the AFC Championship, but I think that breaking a 22-year drought without a playoff win is more important.

One could also argue that the 1991 playoff win over the Los Angeles Raiders (10 to 6 win) is as important as the Texans win because it also ended a 22-year lack of playoff wins, and I almost chose it since the league was slightly smaller during that span. But the Chiefs were 0-3 during that span versus 0-8 during the 1993-2015 drought.

Well, that was depressing to think about. Some of the Chiefs' most impressive wins are simply the outcome of breaking horrendous losing streaks or playoff droughts, and most of them occurred in the 1960's. (Sad sigh.)

Not an all time classic game or anything, but one of my all time favorite games was the game BEFORE the Oilers playoff game, where we blocked a punt to lead to Montana's game tying touchdown to send the game into OT...which we won.

This probably falls short on most peoples lists....but this absolutely beats the Texans playoff game by a longshot IMO.

You need to redact that name NOW!!!!! **** that guy. i would punch him if I saw him.

Backups Kyle Orton and Thomas Jones beating the defending super bowl champs at home. 0.07% winning that game and totally lit by the 4th quarter.

Buck up Captain Crooked Wang. Tank some more of your meds and relax. Everything is going to be OK.

**** the 2015 wild card.

As meaningless as that PO win over Todd Marinovich.

Sad that we still lost that game...

hahaha

And DT almost had Krieg for an 8th sack on the last play, a hail mary to win the damn thing.

you were probably in diapers but it definitely was not meaningless...

Back then we had a good team that was constantly in he playoffs and it felt like we had a chance....that was year 2 of a crazy 10 year run where we never won less than like 9 games and we went to the playoffs like 8 times.

That particular year we had to play the raiders 3 times. We beat them all three times.....The second time we played them we were basically already playing an elimination playoff game....and we won...and got a wildcard ticket...

We drew the raiders for that wildcard game, and played them and won.

Just sticking it to the raiders and taking them out of the playoffs elevates that game over 99% of other games we have played...period.

It was totally meaningless. That Chiefs team needed major upgrades to even sniff true playoff contention with Montana two years later.

So the win wasn't a stepping stone to something greater. It was just a team that wasn't that good, led by a QB who wasn't that good, beating a shitty QB who had no business in the postseason.

Sound familiar?

Alex 'All I Do Is Win' Smith getting love in this thread... I like that!

https://tse2.mm.bing.net/th?id=OIP.y...90&o=4&pid=1.7

You have no idea what you're talking about...I mean that as lovingly as possible but you CLEARLY didn't watch that season...

Every battle that doesn't lead to a won war is not meaningless...

If you had actually watched that season or been a chiefs fan at that time you would think that game had meaning. If you wiped that game from the record book and inserted mahomes into it, you would think it had meaning.....because it did at the time.

Now, you can say it didnt have meaning for YOU....which is true because you were probably sucking your dads teet at the time. But to anyone who actually watched that season, taking the raiders out of the playoffs was amazing. Beating them twice in a ROW to do it was epic.

I would actually put that game JUST out of the top 5. Getting rid of the 93 curse was epic...just maybe (barely) not top 5 epic...for me

By that logic, the only important wins in Chiefs history occurred in 1962, 1966, and 1969. If you subscribe to that philosophy, that's your business, but I would expand beyond that. In my opinion, there are important wins that occur in seasons without a Super Bowl win. The 1991 win was important because it was the first Chiefs playoff win since Super Bowl IV.

Yes and beating the raiders literally twice in a row , back to back weeks to eliminate them from the playoffs was ****ing epic...but I get that it is lost to the children here..to know the feeling of hatred for the raiders or of a DECADE where you knew you were going to the playoffs every year because the team was that good

i think the steelers OT playoff win with Montana was better/more important than the Texans playoff game.

I actually forgot I went to that game at Arrowhead...lived in LA during those years and got tickets as a x-mas present. Deberg was a tough SOB....

well its apples and oranges

and there are definitely arguments both ways

but that season we did go farther than ever in my lifetime.....and OT playoffs raises the bar immensly

also at that time it was like you had the feeling we SHOULD win a superbowl...whereas in Texas you pretty much knew it was 1 and done....

so I do agree with you but in the scheme of things it is pretty close.....because the number of these kinds of games is so small for us

If we're talking only regular season, 2006 Thanksgiving game vs the Broncos has to be on some list.

I'm younger, so I don't remember anything prior to ~2000.

I was there when it happened & the funny thing was moments before that epic punt return a fan ran onto the field and was chased by security. They tackled his ass good.

That's possibly the biggest upset in modern Chiefs history...I think GB was 13-0...and Rodgers was playing like a man possessed. It was so crazy it led to Crenell getting hired as HC...

I was in mexico and busted my balls to get to a TV that had the Playoff game against the colts that year

I think that was the year my heart began to blacken

He had 6 against the Raiders in three quarters but coach took him out of the game. He could have had ten. I'm pissed about that. For all the hate Marty had for the Raiders he showed them mercy.

I remember when all we wanted was a 17-16 playoff win over anybody. Even the Browns

Beating the Texans 30-0 was bigger than people remember. And that's a good thing, but that doesn't mean it wasn't a huge win

56-10 dog pounding the Falcons. Eight rushing touchdowns against the number one rank rush defense.

Our long snapper even had two sacks on M Vic

Funny how going into the Broncos game I felt there was no way we could lose, even while everyone was picking us to suck it up. But the Colts game, I had zero faith.

There shouldn't be that kind of hopelessness going into a playoff game. But with Herm at the wheel, I guess that explains it

Iirc, one of those was Jared Allen's first sack.

We had absolutely no chance to win that game...I remember questioning why the hell we were even at the game as we had no chance. We had no right to win that game. I still don't know how it happened...it was ****ing crazy.






...makes ya a little more hopeful about Thursday.

"And that's why they play the game."

What game are you talking about?

Probably would have been irrelevant considering Pioli, but it and the other Romeo "win" in the three games post Haley firing led to the 2-14 waste of a year, so...

I think this one:

https://www.pro-football-reference.c...1112180kan.htm

where GB just assumed we would roll over for them

Kyle Orton played out of his mind. Maybe the most clutch game of his career, and I'm sure it single handedly got him his next contract.

I couldn't remember his name at first, so I googled it. First result to my search:

when we beat the undefeated packers

Geez, I don't remember that game at all. I wonder if I wasn't able to watch it. But looking at the box score, there weren't a lot of big plays other than Tamba Hali running wild on the pass rush.

When I think about wins over Green Bay, I default for some reason to a game that I think was in the Marty era where the Chiefs threw a long bomb on the first play of the game.

I'm only 23 so I'll pick some I remember watching, 2016 snf Santos doink, Rivers worst day ever on MNF Halloween night, Green to kennison to beat GB in OT 2003, Chiefs/steelers when we were ass and chambers broke off a huge catch and run to set up a fg win 2009. Wild card win against houston the firs chiefs playoff win in my lifetime

Those few weeks in 2003 were as close as the Chiefs have ever gotten to some of the Royals' '14-15 magic..... the Ravens were offsides or something before Dante Hall returned a kick for a TD, then 'the return' in the 24-23 Broncos game, then that OT Packers game in Lambeau.

Not sure about wins but my most miserable loss was walking out of arrowhead with my dad and grandpa after the kicker that shall go unnamed gamr

Aww man 2003 was so great, my 11 year old self drove my parents insane trying to convince em to get Sunday ticket lol. First year I got to catch all the Chiefs games and didn't rely on just watching the ticker at the bottom like a meth addict looking out the window every 10 seconds ROFL , another fun game that year was later in the season against the bears where priest and Co just gave em a ****ing beat down

The comeback win in GB in 2003 was one of the most exciting games I can remember.

Note: I wasn't old enough to cherish Joe when he was here.

I went to the SNF game against the Bills... probably not even the loudest of the year, but pretty electric. I was in the 2nd or 3rd row of the upper deck between the 40s.... the one thing that sticks out in my mind about that game was seeing Bledsoe drop back (facing us), and Eric Warfield charging in from behind on the corner blitz to light up his ass. It was just one of those moments that make being there and seeing the whole field completely worth it.

(no blitz in the highlights though)

Aww man, those old primetime highlights, the music, Stuart scott. Awesome. I remember this game aswell.

Another great game atleast for me, was the MNF opener against sd in 2010. Was one of the last games I got to watch with my dad before he passed. Charles had an epic run for a TD and McCluster with the punt return for a TD, damn that was a good night and one I'll cherish forever

1993-94 Chiefs pulled some crazy wins out. Crazy wins over Chargers, Steelers, Oilers, Broncos.

You could probably add 1995 to that list as well (Raiders, Giants, Chargers, Oilers)

list may be 4 to long
but nope a monday game when Montana schooled elway
DT's 7 sack game
those are my favs right now
I was 4 when the chiefs won the super bowl, never watched the game

KC had lost 31-3, 34-3, and 37-10 right before that game and they had to play the 13-0 Packers. Haley had just been fired and it was Romeo's debut as interim HC.

Pundits were saying GB was going to go undefeated...and Rodgers looked like the best QB the NFL had ever seen...he might have been.

There was less than .000001% of that game happening like it did. ****ing Orton...it was surreal. He was the back-up QB....

I was sitting there thinking...did that really just happen? It should have been a bloodbath..

yeah i remember that one for sure - we really 'came to life'

A Preseason game in 1966 against the Chicago Bears. Chiefs win 66-0 . This game woke up the NFL that the AFL was no joke.

Warren Moon passing like 560 yards in a game setting most yards passing.


Oh wait that was with the Oilers against the Chiefs.

But hey he did retire a Chief.

I told everyone we would win. We had a special ed packer fan blow hard at lunch. You know how packer fans are. Insufferable. I told him that with all the crap the Chiefs had been through, Chiefs would win. Stuff like that just happens. He did not talk to me the rest of the school year. That was a good victory.

Had tickets given to me for that game. I don't remember when it was in the game, but the Bears hit a WR on a deep ball. He was running alone, and for some reason thought he was going to get hit in the side? Anyway, there wasn't anybody within 5 yards of him, he does this jackass juke move, it slows him down, and he gets tackled on what should have been a walk-in touchdown. The entire stadium was laughing.

In any case, it was a fun game to be at. Urlacher did nothing special that game, but you could just see he was at a different level than anybody else.

LMAO

lol that is one sad ass list. houston wc win number 3???

Was that in OAK? if so , I think i was there

would today's game rank in the top ten regular season games? :D

No - I could easily name 10 better off the top of my head:

1. Elway vs. Montana
2. Bono comeback vs SD on MNF - Vanover punt return in OT
3. Vermeil's balls and Larry Johnson dive with no time left
4. Last year's comeback at Denver
5. Stoyanovich 53-yarder to beat Denver
6. Andre Rison catch to beat Raiders
7. Dante Hall kick return to beat Denver
8. Chiefs vs. SF - beat Steve Young with DT's safety
9. Rivers fumbles the snap
10. Dwayne Rudd helmet toss

there are at least four on your list i would rate below tonight's game :D

6. 2017 NFL Draft

Really sad there's barely anything in the modern era that warrants consideration.

Then again, we haven't been in a position to have big wins. After we beat TEN, we'll at least get a crack at one.

The 1991 MNF game when the Chiefs curb stomped Buffalo was the de-facto national arrival of the Martyball Chiefs as contenders in the 1990’s and also showcased Arrowhead as a legit homefield advantage.

The Chiefs wild card win over Pittsburgh in the 1993-1994 playoffs should be on the list. After all it is the Chiefs last playoff win at Arrowhead to-date.
