Fantastic player -and a Bill Killer..

 

That KC Defense is among the very best ever IMO. 

Jim Lynch, Willie Lanier, Robinson, Buck Buchanan, Curley Culp, Bobby Bell, Aaron Mays, Jim Marsalis, Emmet Thomas. Incredible collection of players!

They were ridiculously good.   Jim Kearney was very good too. The offense was also loaded.

He was great. Hard to believe there’ll ever be another blind receiver.

Though a one-handed DB was drafted this year..

 

....how about this epic Christmas Day game......

 

1971 – Miami Dolphins 27, KANSAS CITY CHIEFS, 24 (2 OT) #
The Dolphins prevailed in a seesaw battle during the 1971 AFC Divisional Playoff Game. Miami's Garo Yepremian ended the NFL's longest game ever with a 37-yard field goal in double overtime to give the Dolphins the win. The Chiefs' Ed Podolak turned in one of the single greatest post-season performances when he accumulated a combined 350 all-purpose yards
