Super Bowl 54: The 29 starting quarterbacks who failed to get the Chiefs to the Super Bowl

The Chiefs had 29 starting quarterbacks between Len Dawson and Patrick Mahomes, none taking them to the Super Bowl.

Len Dawson got the Kansas City Chiefs to Super Bowls I and IV. Patrick Mahomes has them with a return engagement — finally — at Super Bowl LIV. So, who were all the other starting QBs who failed to get Kansas City back to the NFL championship game? Going to start with the 1976 season, the year after Dawson retired following his Hall of Fame career.

Mike Livingston was a Kansas City Chief from 1968 through his entire career that ended after 1979. He backed up Len Dawson and took over after the Hall of Famer retired. Livingston was 31-43-1 overall as a starter. His mark after Dawson’s exit was 11-32.
