the Keys to Kingdom: An Illustrated Timeline of Kansas City Chiefs, 2nd Edition

Some of the most significant people in the history of pro football have direct ties to the Chiefs, led by Hunt. Hunt was the one who initiated discussions with NFL commissioner Pete Rozelle. Hunt pushed those discussions all the way to the merger of the two leagues. The Keys to 'the Kingdom' recounts the early years of the Chiefs' AFL dominance, the prominence of many good players on lesser Chiefs teams, some highs behind great players and coaches in the 1990s, and most recently the return to glory under Andy Reid. Significant players, coaches, and events dot the landscape of the Chiefs' 66-year history, and this book covers them all. You'll relive the 1963 draft that saw the Chiefs take two Hall of Famers, plus two other starters on both Super Bowl teams. You'll be thrilled again by the stories of Joe Montana's epic comeback against the Denver Broncos on Monday Night Football, Derrick Thomas' seven-sack game against the Seattle Seahawks, and the Chiefs' three double-digit comeback victories in the 2019-2020 playoffs. We've also added stories about the seven straight AFC Championship Game appearances and five Super Bowls in six years. This book is personal. It's written for fans throughout the Chiefs Kingdom, but mostly it's written for people like the author, people who have loved the Chiefs for more than 60 years. You'll enjoy the journey.
