<P> The 1969 Kansas City Chiefs season was the team 's 10th , their 7th in Kansas City , and also their final season in the American Football League . It resulted in an 11 -- 3 record and a 23 -- 7 victory in Super Bowl IV over the NFL 's heavily favored Minnesota Vikings . The team beat their rivals , the Oakland Raiders in the final AFL Championship Game , claiming their third AFL Championship in franchise history . The Chiefs were coached by Hank Stram , led by quarterback Len Dawson and a powerful defense led by Bobby Bell , Willie `` Contact '' Lanier , Buck Buchanan and Curley Culp . The Chiefs ' defense became the fourth defense in the history of pro football to lead its league in fewest rushing yards , fewest passing yards and fewest total yards . The Chiefs were the second AFL team to win the Super Bowl and last AFL team to do so before the AFL - NFL Merger in the following season . </P>
