People around here and in the league just don't appreciate the talent that was on the '69 Chiefs team.
6 Hall of Famers on defense. The other 5 were really good players in their own right. Greatest defense in NFL history.
The offense had Len Dawson, Otis Taylor, Mike Garrett, and Frank Pitts plus a really, really good offensive line.
Jan Stenerud, Jerrel Wilson, and Noland Smith on special teams. Stenerud is in the HOF. Wilson was one of the two best punters in the league and Smith was a great returner.
That team was loaded at every position. 8 total Hall of Famers. It should be considered one of the five greatest teams in NFL history.
