#ChiefsKingdom
20 years ago,
#ChiefsKingdom
started to look at the 25th of March quite differently, because on that date the
@Chiefs
were able to complete the trade with the
#Saints
that led
@Willie_Roaf
to Kansas City. One of the greatest transactions in Team History.
Oct. 12, 1975.
After
@ChiefsWarpaint
had to make 6 laps around the field because of 6
@Chiefs
TDs that gave KC a 42-10 win,
#Raiders
HC John Madden said:
"We couldn't beat the Chiefs, but we damn near killed their horse."
RIP, Coach Madden. For you only made the rivalry great.
29 years ago in

...
The spike seen around the globe and felt throughout
#ChiefsKingdom
, as it'd open the door for the
@Chiefs
to pull off the remarkable upset in Houston. Courtesy of Keith Cash. (Jan. 16, 1994)
"Coach: QBs don't sweat. QBs perspire..."
Len Dawson was so irresistibly cool that Hank Stram was irremediably set to get him the 1st chance he got in the pros, so Dawson'd be the calming ying to his fiery yang to attain the balance he craved for his team.
And so it began.🙏

Considering that Kansas City had last won a playoff game in this very Texan city, it became quite obvious from the opening play that the
@Chiefs
only needed to get back to Houston to solve their postseason woes. (Jan. 9, 2016)

#ChiefsKingdom
Granted, the
@Chiefs
have not collected too many positive memories from their meetings with the New York
#Giants
, but one that can be put on an infinite loop is this exquisite punt return by
@dextermccluster
. (Sep. 29, 2013)

@grunny61
was more about actions than words, and yet a powerful reason why he belongs in the
@Chiefs
' Ring of Honor is this speech alone. That explains to perfection how KC rallied from a 14-point 4Q deficit, to stick it to the
#Raiders
one last time in the '90s. (Nov. 28, 1999)
The first
@NFL
scoring play of
@TambaHali91
could not have come at a better time, as his 4th quarter safety effectively put a seal on the
@Chiefs
' 14-6 victory in Washington --which doubled as the 1st W in KC for the Scott Pioli-Todd Haley-Matt Cassel triumvirate. (Oct. 18, 2009)
Happiest of Birthdays to the owner of the most famous pinky in
@Chiefs
' lore, Mr. Steve DeBerg, one of the toughest Men to ever wear the Red, White and Gold, and who turns 70 years old on this particular day.
Here's to an absolutely Great One.
#ChiefsKingdom
🎁🎉🎂
Because of 5 consecutive losses that threatened to sink their season, the
@Chiefs
badly needed someone to step up vs. the
#Steelers
to stop going south. Turns out they only needed to look towards the West of their bench (
@Charcandrick26
) to straighten things out. (Oct. 25, 2015)
Following last night's heroics in Los Angeles, the
@Chiefs
have now scored 5 overtime walk-off TDs in their History. Here's every single one of them, as called by their common witness, Mr.
@mitchholthus
.
#ChiefsKingdom
What was one of the coolest traits of
@trentgreen10
during his playing days?
That the Man was so darn driven, that you could lay a hand on him beforehand and he'd still find a way to make the play for the
@Chiefs
.
Happy Birthday, Trent. Enjoy a Great One.

Out of all the
@Chiefs
' players that've been able to score a TD on their birthdays...did you know that only one defender has achieved that feat? (Nov. 3, 2013)
Happy Birthday to the Great
@TambaHali91
. All the best in the new cycle. 🎉
Cam Newton put it up in hopes that somebody would make the play, and
@Stuntman1429

Around this very time 10 years ago, in what was the 9th contest of the '12 campaign, the

Today would've been Gunther Cunningham's 77th birthday. And so, to celebrate him, here's Gun breaking down to
@Andrea_Kremer
just what change he instilled in the
@Chiefs
Defense, that led to the impeccable performance of the unit in the 1995 season.
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Here's wishing the greatest of days to Steve DeBerg, the Man that got demoted, discouraged, distraught & even broken with the
@Chiefs

Happy Birthday,

To former

With

2022 getting underway this weekend, here's a look back at the start of another such

OTD in

:
Priest Holmes &
@blaylock_23
left double marks on the
@NFL
Record Book, when they became the first teammates with 4 rushing TDs in a gm, while helping the
@Chiefs
score the still League-best of 8 rushing TDs on the same day. (Oct. 24, 2004)

Among the things that 𝐃𝐞𝐫𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐤 𝐓𝐡𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐬 proved in his 33 years on this earth, is that if you continually set your sights sky high, then a proper bar can be set accordingly. (Nov. 11, 1990)

On this day in
@Chiefs
History:
A rather satisfying afternoon took place for a pair of
#ChiefsKingdom
faves, when
@joevalerio73
garnered his 1st career TD and
@MarcusAllenHOF
his 100th. As part of a 24-9 W over the
#Raiders
at Arrowhead Stadium, some 30 years ago. (Oct. 3, 1993)
Here's a
#FlashbackFriday
that reminisces about the 1995
@Chiefs
Training Camp, when the presence of WR Webster Slaughter was considered a pretty big deal as a way of ensuring the success of Steve Bono, the team's new starter at the QB position. (Aug. 14, 1995)
#ChiefsKingdom
Wanna know why the '03
#KCvsGB
game (Oct. 12) deserves all the love it gets?
That's the ONLY time in
@Chiefs
history that the team has come back from a 17+ pt deficit to start the 4Q to win the game. (0-59 before, 0-31 since)
#ChiefsKingdom
This week, the NFL sent a video to all teams reminding them of the rule against pulling a runner. On Thursday night, the officials missed a clear instance of Eagles C Jason Kelce pulling RB Kenneth Gainwell toward the end zone.
As we celebrate his B-Day, here's a look back at an
@espn
feature that was aired when it was very clear that Priest Holmes had already made believers of us all. (Dec. 23, 2001)
Happy Birthday, Priest. All the very best in your newest trip around the sun.

Happiest of Birthdays to
@JasusTD89

21 years ago (Apr. 21, 2001) Priest Holmes decided that his next
#NFL
chapter should be written with the Kansas City
@Chiefs
. Now... do you remember why exactly he ended up picking KC? Well, here 👇 are the reasons. And yes, major props to James Saxon for playing quite a role...
There's no doubt that low points can be constructive, after all, considering that after this play that would demoralize most,
@moneybomusic
went on to set the
@Chiefs
record for most consecutive games with a TD catch. (Oct. 10, 2010)
5 years ago a
@superdj56
released a 𝘩𝘪𝘵 that became such a 𝘤𝘭𝘢𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘤, that it now belongs in any 𝘎𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘴𝘵 𝘏𝘪𝘵𝘴 compilation. But especially in a
@Chiefs
' related one. (Oct. 16, 2016)
With this 22-yard run achieved in Seattle exactly 20 years ago, Priest Holmes broke Christian Okoye's 12-year
@Chiefs
record for most rushing yards in a season. Holmes would tack on 60 more units to set the then franchise-best of 1,555 yards. (Jan. 6, 2002)

became infatuated with Andy Reid at an early stage, and it was easy to see why. As any fanbase would appreciate a man that shows up to work every day of the week but specially twice on Sundays. (Nov. 9, 2014)
The
@Chiefs
' 1995 regular season finale is one of the coolest occurrences in Team History, because it truly felt like a celebratory event. Something evident from the get-go, when the festivities started off on the right note.

I have to disagree with you Shady. Bieniemy Coach me 4 years I learned so many thing for EB and I still keep in contact with him a great husband and father. He deserves to be a head coach.
Happy B-Day to the the Man that as a member of the Kansas City
@Chiefs
, became the 1st player in
@NFL
History to achieve the combo of 10,000 career rushing yards AND 5,000 receiving ones (Dec. 3, 1995). All the very best to the magnificent

With his inductions into both the
@Chiefs
' Hall of Fame and Ring of Honor playing a part in tonight's
#NYGvsKC
game,
@grunny61
comes full circle. Literally. 'Cause on the subject of being featured on a Monday Night at haltime, he's been there and done that... (Oct. 2, 2000)
If you're fond of the KC brand of🏈 you have a reason to celebrate, because 60 yrs ago Lamar Hunt turned the Dallas Texans into the KANSAS CITY CHIEFS. Thus starting the very special story that has led us to this day.
Happy B-Day,
@Chiefs
&
#ChiefsKingdom
. Here's to what's next.
Happiest of Birthdays to that force of nature known as

Now that we're on the subject of transcendent HC-QB duos representing
#ChiefsKingdom
in cool ads, it's time to go back to July 2003. When a work of art feat. both Hank Stram & Len Dawson, connected how
@Gatorade
did help the
@Chiefs
win their 1st Super Bowl Title.
#LiquidGold
Yup. Hennething was possible for the
@Chiefs

Like the first rushing TD for one fine Chad in almost 8 years. (Oct. 25, 2020)

#ChiefsKingdom
One of the great goal line stands in
#ChiefsHistory
occurred in Minneapolis, in the final gm of 1981. Because in protecting a late 10-6 4Q lead from a final push by the
#Vikings
, the
@Chiefs
D gave KC its 1st winning season since 1973. (Dec. 20, 1981)

After an individually satisfying -yet obviously very taxing- '03 season with the

would be one to finally unwind...
...And then they sent the Office Linebacker his way. 🤷♂️ (2004)
@lesterspeight
If you think that the last few hours of a year are meaningless, just remember that the
@Chiefs
gave way to a reversal of their fortunes at around 3:25 PM (CT) of a December 31st... (2017)
Happy New Year's Eve,

How fast was Tyreek Hill with the Chiefs? So fast that even his replay reviews blew right past his own team, to cancel any chance to give him what he rightfully-and spectacularly-had earned. Oh well. (2020)
As proof that medical limitations have not spoiled the
@Chiefs
' playoff aspirations when paying December visits to the
#Chargers
, here's a
#TBT
shoutout to my Man, Steve DeBerg, who was as tuff as the nail they put in his pinky to lift KC to a 24-21 W in San Diego (Dec. 23, 1990)
Remember when linking Travis Kelce and Jonas Valanciunas was a thing? Well, I still haven't watched Jonas leap 15 feet from the stripe to get a score. But I do have seen Travis. (Sep. 17, 2017)
