Here are the videos of 1968 and 1969 Chiefs. These two seasons still rate as the finest back-to-back seasons in the Chiefs history.
The 1968 season was a hugely successful season for the team, even though they suffered two blowout losses to the Raiders in the two games played out in Oakland (one in the regular season & one in the Western Division playoff after the regular season ended). The team finished 12-2 in spite of having 5 new starters on Defense and 3 new starters on Offense, as well as injuries to key players like Mike Garrett and Otis Taylor.
The 1969 season, of course, would result in the Chiefs only Super Bowl victory to date, and the Defense would have two new starters in DT Curley Culp and rookie 1st-round draft pick, CB Jim Marsalis.
The narrator of the 1969 video does make an incorrect assessment when he calls the Chiefs "pro football's team of the '70's", as that honor would have to go to the Pittsburgh Steelers. A better assessment would have been "pro football's team of 1969", because in the 1970's, the foundation of Chiefs would crumble and collapse very quickly and they never had a winning record the last 6 years in that decade (1971 was kind of like a last hurrah & was kind if tainted, anyways). The 1970 Chiefs highlights are also available from the same guy that uploaded these, but I'm not bothering with linking to them, because I watched that depressing season first-hand and knowing what followed afterwards.
