Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Which Chiefs head coach played quarterback and graduated from San Jose State?

Answer: Dick Vermeil

Dick was also the first coach to guide a team to victory in BOTH the Rose Bowl, and the Super Bowl.

2. Which former Chief tragically lost his life while attempting to save two kids from drowning?

Answer: Joe Delaney

Joe rushed for 1,121 yds on 234 attempts in his rookie year. Sadly, it was also his only full season on record as a Chief.

3. Which player was the first placekicker for the team as a member of the combined NFL, wore the number 3, and has his jersey retired as a Chief?

Answer: Jan Stenerud

Mr. Stenerud was also the first "pure" placekicker inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame, in Canton, Ohio.

4. Which of the following players played college basketball at the University of California, and also attended a tryout for the Miami Heat NBA franchise?

Answer: Tony Gonzalez

Tony played forward for the California Bears, and still states that his first love is basketball. One of Tony's signature moves on the football field is a dunk over the field goal post crossbar after he scores a touchdown.

5. Derrick Thomas once set a NFL record for most sacks in a game. How many times did he get to the quarterback?

Answer: 7

The year was 1990. The opponent was the Seattle Seahawks. The game was held on Veterans Day. Thomas dedicated his performance to his father, an Air Force pilot killed in action in Vietnam. Ironically, the operation was known as Linebacker II, the same position Derrick played as a Chief.

6. Joe Montana played his final years in Kansas City after leaving the 49ers. Which two backup quarterbacks at San Francisco, eventually became starters for the Chiefs?

Answer: Elvis Grbac & Steve Bono

Some would say that Grbac and Bono deserved to be backups at Kansas City also. However, they had an excellent winning percentage when playing NFC teams, especially the 49ers. Go figure.

7. Joe Montana finished his career with the Kansas City Chiefs. At Notre Dame he was once a second string quaterback?

Answer: No

Actually, Montana was the THIRD string quaterback behind Rusty Lisch and Gary Foystek. Lisch played 5 years of pro ball, throwing for a little over 500 yards total in his career with St. Louis and Chicago. Montana, as you know, turned out to be one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time.

Answer: He wasn't drafted

Priest Holmes was never drafted. He played college ball for the Texas Longhorns, and was often overshadowed by another great back - Ricky Williams. Priest finished the 2002 campaign in third place for rushing yards from scrimmage. Ironically, Ricky Williams finished in first place, but also played in two more games.

9. Arrowhead stadium treated the Chiefs to the second best home field advantage in the 1990s, rivaled only by this team, who had the best home field winning percentage. What team was it?

Answer: San Francisco 49ers

The 49ers had a slight advantage over the Chiefs in the 1990s. Opponents dreaded the trip to Kansas City in this decade.

10. What year did Arrowhead stadium play host to the Kansas City Chiefs for the first time?

Answer: 1972

Arrowhead had been entertaining fans for more than thirty years. It cost less than 1/10th of what a modern stadium today is built for, and still is considered a marvelous stadium to play professional football in.
