How Many Super Bowl Wins Do the Chiefs Have?
The Kansas City Chiefs have been a football franchise since 1960, and their Super Bowl IV championship was their first and came after the 1969 regular season when led by quarterback Len Dawson, they beat the Minnesota Vikings by a final score of 23-7.
The team’s second and only other Super Bowl win was not until after the 2019 season when young quarterback Patrick Mahomes took the team all the way against the San Francisco 49ers and won Super Bowl LIV by a score of 31-20.
Should they win Super Bowl LV vs Tampa Bay Buccaneers, it would be their third franchise championship.
How Many Times Have the Chiefs Made It to the Super Bowl?
Aside from the two Super Bowl wins mentioned above, the Chiefs also went to the final game of the season back in 1966 when they won the first-ever Super Bowl to the Green Bay Packers by the lopsided score of 35-10.
The Chiefs were part of the American Football League (AFL) back then and didn’t join the NFL until 1970 when they joined the AFC West division of that newly formed league where they have found a home ever since.
What Is the Record for Consecutive Chiefs Super Bowl Wins?
If the Chiefs were to win Super Bowl LV, they would become the eighth football franchise to post a repeat Big Game win in consecutive seasons.
The current record for consecutive Super Bowl wins is two and is shared by these seven franchises:
- Green Bay Packers (1966–1967)
- Miami Dolphins (1972–1973)
- Pittsburgh Steelers (1974–1975 and 1978–1979
- San Francisco 49ers (1988–1989)
- Dallas Cowboys (1992–1993)
- Denver Broncos (1997–1998)
- New England Patriots (2003–2004)
The Patriots and the Steelers are both tied for the most total Super Bowls with six.
Which Chiefs Players Have Been Super Bowl MVP?
In each of the two Chiefs Super Bowl wins, the team has named a quarterback as their Most Valuable Player.
In 1969 after their Super Bowl IV victory, that honor went to Len Dawson, the pro bowl hurler and former NFL Man of the Year who posted a lifetime touchdown to interception ratio of 239-183 and a passer rating of 82.6.
In 2020 after the Chiefs Super Bowl LIV win, the team made Patrick Mahomes the game’s MVP in just his third NFL season, and now the 25-year old 3x Pro Bowler has the chance to win that award once again.
