The Kansas City "Chiefs"
The Kansas City (KC) Chiefs play in the West division of the American Football Conference (AFC). Their ground is named "Arrowhead Stadium" and in located in Kansas City, Missouri.
Their old name was the Dallas Texans. But when they moved to Kansas City, their name was after the Mayor of Kansas City, who's nickname was "chief". Hope that helps
The Chiefs QB in Super Bowl I was Hall of Famer Len Dawson.
When the Dalas Texans wanted to move the team to Kansas City the Chief of the city at the time was very supportive of the move and he was apparently a very loved man so in honour of him they named the team, the "Chiefs"
