Most Memorable Chiefs Games Ever???
Hey Guys,
I'm new to the site but love what I see so far and can't wait to get more involved.
A question for you though- If you were to think back over the past 30 years or so of Chiefs football, which individual games stick out most in your minds? Things like huge comebacks, miraculous wins, crazy things that happened in the stands, SuperBowls, conference championships, blunder type games (Leon Lett type things)?
Thanks guys!! Just trying to get some insight into what makes the Chiefs so special to so many of us!!

Tamarick Vanover's return against the Chargers on Monday Night in OT
Montana magic.
It was terrible, but losing to Elway and the Broncos 14-10 in the divisional round after going 13-3.
Dante Hall’s return against the Colts in the playoffs.
Watch the whole Montana v. Elway game
here It starts at 1/19 and goes from there.
Go to Wide World of Roto for all your fantasy news!
Elway finally got his
I loved this game, not often both teams come back in the final minutes of the game. With two of the greatest come from behind QBs of all time in the game this was just special. I think it is still considered the best monday night game of all time.
Monday Night ....Vanessa Williams sings her song (save the best for last)
and Joe Cool wins it in the final minutes. Marty was winless at Mile High til that game.
The other was the 2003 game against Green Bay when the Chiefs were down like 21 pts in the 4 qtr, and I turned off the VCR in frustration. Only flip the VCR back on to catch closing parts when Trent came from behind to win it 40-34 in OT. Great comebacks.

Where to start...
Chiefs Raiders a few years back when LJ had the buzzer beater TD over the top. I had a college friend Raiders fan in town for that game which made it pretty boss.
I was in Alaska
With my furture brother in-law who is a raider fan. It was actually broadcasted there it was great to watch his look of shock and defeat when Vermeil decided to go for it and succeeded

How could I forget
Grbac to Rison in the second game of the 1997 season.
Monday night. Grbac and Rison were both new to KC. 11 second remaining, no timeouts. Rison big times the safety and hauls in a 33 yarder with 3 seconds left to win the game.
Was it Seattle at Arrowhead?
It was raining cats and dogs, the stairs looked like water falls, and we get a win 17-10, with the game being stopped early. Geen Bay Trent green to Eddie Kennison with the big pass play to win it!
Chiefs vs. Browns
Final drive with a few seconds left. As Trent Green is getting sacked, he flips the ball to a lineman, who scrambles down the field for a good amount of yards. The defensive player, thinking he just made a game winning sack, takes of his helmet and throws it to the ground in celebration. 15 yard penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct at the end of the run. Chiefs kick a field goal to win the game.
That was the season opener…and a game listed on some of our fans’ most memorable (in a bad way) lists, lol…

Whoops
You’re right. I looked it up and was counting the preseason games. I thought it was the season opener at first though :)

Bunch of games!
First one would be when Dante Hall had that game winning return vs the Donkeys! The LJ leap to score and beat the raiders when time expired! And although we lost both times, the Colts playoff game and the Monday nighter vs New England! But great atmospheres!
Titans game on MNF
The announcers played it down because McNair was out. Billy Volek stepped in and went toe to toe with Trent it was the second most points in MNF history.
Last years charger game was memorable for me. It was my sons first game he was barely one but it was worth it especially since we came from behind and won.
Wow, that is amazing there are so few of us "oldies" on here
Most memorable games for me:
1. Superbowl, Chiefs vs. Minnesota
2. Longest game in history, Chiefs vs. Miami, 1971
3. Chief vs. Jets for AFL Divisional Playoff Game 1969
4. Chiefs vs. Seattle, Derrick Thomas sack record, 1990
5. Chiefs vs. Buffalo, 1966 my first game I can recall watching with my dad (I was 5 yrs old)
"But what do I know, I’m like an empty room with a large ECHO"
Wow...
…it’s sad to think your last memorable moment was 18 years ago. Has it been that long? Wow, time has flown. But, you’re right, those are some great ones.
1) Watching the Chiefs play on Christmas Day with my Dad and we both had Santa’s Hats on.
2)Anyone remember Montana winning the playoff game at Arrowhead against Pittsburgh with the last second TD pass into the endzone?
It was a CHILLING day there. I remember bringing a blanket and having a ski bib on and freezing my nuts off. I actually bought hot chocolate and by the time I started drinking, it was lukewarm.
FUN FUN FUN game. Funny how miserable weather doesn’t seem to matter that much when the Chiefs win :)
Just keep matriculating the ball down the field boys.
Dont get me wrong
I enjoyed the Montana-Elway duel and other games that were mentioned, just not in my top five.
"But what do I know, I’m like an empty room with a large ECHO"
I gotcha
Yeah, it’s the ones that stand out for each person. I forgot to mention Montana getting the concussion in the AFC championship game against Buffalo. Last game he ever played.
Just keep matriculating the ball down the field boys.
You had to feel for him lying face down on the ground
clutching his helmet with both hands
"But what do I know, I’m like an empty room with a large ECHO"
lot of great players
We have had a sprinkling of really great players since the Super Bowl days on about every team but that was The Team. Seems every position had a great player and they played for the team not for themselves. I was 12 years old in 66 and I became a life long fan then. I loved that team and the great rivalries in the AFL. We had an incredible defense then as you well know and a very good offense. Tough guys who knew how to play and were athletic. I wish we could bring back all of the atmosphere back today. It wouldn’t be right to not mention Hank Stramm. He was really right for the times and knew how to put all this into a very entertaining package. I miss those days and wish these young pups could see and feel what a memorable time that was.
Hate to say it but......
Priest Holmes fumble in the Colt playoff game… Ohhhh and Dante Hall’s return against Denver a few years back.
Thanksgiving VS. Broncos
Best Thanksgiving ever. From smashing pumpkins in the parking lot, to dancing on the field during halftime, awesome day. And the Chiefs actually won!!

Montana Vs. 49ers
The first year we got Montana, 93 or 94 I think, the 49ers came into Arrowhead. In his first game against his former team, Montana lit them up. But the moment I remember from that game is when DT had a safety on Steve Young and Arrowhead just blew up. Glorious day.

We killed them
Like 44-7. It was Montana’s second year I think and the 49ers won it all that year.

I thought it was 44-9
I remember the headline in the paper reading “44-9ers” or something like that.

A lame Monday night game...
I think it was against the Packers in the mid 90’s. It was the kind of game that Herm has wet dreams about. Slow it down, slop it up. No action what-so-ever. But they had handed out team posters at the gates. Well about the 3rd quarter, the paper airplans started to fly. Then they really started coming down. Before long the only cheers heard were for the planes that made it on the field.
I have a vivid memory
of Montana’s pick in the end zone against the Bills in ’94, right before the half ended.
Good memories and bad memories
The DT meltdown game, when he had all those personal fouls. I believe it was against Shannon Sharpe and the Donkeez. Screw that horseface beeyotch.

The last playoff win
At Arrowhead vs the Steelers . The Arrowhead crowd gave the team quite a send off after the win. So much hope and optimism….

The rain game
Chiefs Vs Seaturds I believe. Mid- 90’s. Just raining like crazy the entire game. Total slop fest on the field. I think they actually called the game. I remember being in row 4 of the upper deck, up to my knees in water. CRAZY!

Too many games
As a season ticket holder since 1990, there are a lot of memorable games, but also quite a few of forgettable ones too. All the playoff losses still burn. Chiefs- Colts 2003 was a hell of game. No punts I believe. Dantes return was sick. But Priests’ fumble toward the goaline…. SHIT… heartbreaker. I guess I still havent gotten over that one….

Priest's fumble
Was around the 50. Jack ass had nothing but green ahead of him and he got caught from behind. That was the day Preist Holmes died in my eyes. You don’t get caught from behind and fumble in the playoffs. DEAD TO ME.

Priest
Man are you mean. Priest gave us so many memorable plays. You hardly ever get a player like that. You are wrong wrong wrong.
My memory is fuzzy
One game that I remember the emotion of but can’t actually remember the game was back in the mid 90’s.
If I remember right it was the last game of the year and we won, but we had to have Pittsburgh lose. Once the Chiefs game was over they put the Pittsburgh game up on the jumbo tron and let us watch the end of that game and they lost so we made it to the playoffs. I just remember that it was like a huge party for the fans that stayed to watch the other game. Does anyone else remember this?
Yes 2006 playoffs
We also needed SF to beat DEN which they did in OT. Thank god for Joe Nedney.

It was back in the 90s
The game I was thinking about was back in the 90s when I still made enough money to have season tickets, and it was still while Marty was the HC.
After the Jets won on Saturday we needed...
Cincinnati loss or tie against Pittsburg
Denver loss against San Francisco
Tennessee loss against New England
Man, we really did luck out on that one
I had forgotten about all that stuff that needed to happen.
Okay, has anyone noticed that this guy posted this on a lot of different SB Nation team sites?
I was just over at the Lions site reading about Culpepper, and they called him out on spamming this.
Yep
He did. I mean, it created good conversation….but, yeah, it’s been noted. Thanks.

Losing to the Broncos in the playoffs
i think it was 97. i’m still sour about it.
Does anybody remember how the broncos came out that game and had covered themseles in grease to make it hard to tackle them? and all they got was a 15 yard penalty and told to wipe it off!!!!
and then there was the potentential game winning touchdown gonzalez caught in the air in the endzone but was pushed out of bounds (this was admitted by the defender) but nothing was called!!!
most disappointing loss ever.
