1997 -
Coach - Marty Schottenheimer
Record - 13-3

Notes of interest - Team's first winning season since 1972. Chiefs selected guard Brad Budde, the son of Chiefs Hall of Fame guard Ed Budde, as the team's first-round draft choice, making the Buddes the first father-son combination to become first-round draftees of the same team in NFL history.

1975 -
Coach - Paul Wiggin
Record - 5-9
Playoffs - No playoff berth
Notes of interest - The highlight of the season was a 34-31 upset win at Dallas on Monday Night Football. The regular season finale at Oakland marked the final games in the Hall of Fame careers of Len Dawson and Buck Buchanan.
