The vast majority of these guys played on generally winning teams where they probably had a lot of obvious pass rush opportunities late in the game. Then think about Art Still, who had ten years with the Chiefs and only two seasons above .500 (at 9-7 and 10-6). I really think the guy would be a Hall of Famer if he had played on better teams.

This is actually super cool info. I’ve always wanted to know the sack totals prior to 82.

I'm going to say Aaron Brown, only because I can't think of who else it might be from that era.

I barely remember him as a little kid. He's actually the first Chief that I ever saw get traded, so that's my main memory. I was young and couldn't imagine getting traded away from the Chiefs.

Aaron Brown will always be a favorite of mine because he delivered the game cinching play in SBIV when he sacked Joe Kapp and knocked him out of the game. That is my first memory of going from pins and needles one moment to celebration the next.

Remarkably, Aaron Brown was like the 7th or 8th best player on that defense.

Let's look at the evolution of Chiefs pass rush records now. I'll go through each year, list the top five sack guys on the team, and note the all-time record holder.
We'll start with 1960. Man, these early teams are a mystery to me. I've barely heard of Smokey Stover and don't know the other guys at all. Season Sack Leaders Mel Branch 10 Paul Rochester 8 Paul Miller 7.5 Ray Collins 6 Smokey Stover 3.5 All-time leaders as of this year. (The same, obviously.) |

Vonnie Holliday is such an under rated name.
