The Chiefs began their preseason game with the Packers with a tribute to the late Len Dawson.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – It seemed only fitting that, one day after Hall of Fame quarterback Len Dawson’s family, the Kansas City Chiefs played the Green Bay Packers on Thursday night in a preseason rematch of the first Super Bowl.Televised simultaneously by CBS and NBC from Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, the inaugural meeting of the champions of the powerful NFL and upstart AFL was close into the second half.
“As a child, I just remember being on the Chiefs’ field and looking up at Len,” Chiefs chairman Clark Hunt recalled. “Of course, as a child, all the players were huge and he was one of the smaller ones of the group. But he was the one with the ‘it’ factor. He was the leader of the team. And I remember looking at him like that.
