1993 AFC West Division Title

Lore & Background

The division traces its roots to 1960 as the American Football League's Western Division. The division has sent teams to the Super Bowl twenty-one times, though Super Bowl I was not an AFC West appearance since the AFC did not yet exist. As of the conclusion of the 2023 season, the Chiefs have the most Super Bowl wins of any AFC West team with four Super Bowl victories.

In Their Own Story

The air was crisp at Arrowhead Stadium on a cold November afternoon in 1993. As the fourth quarter ticked down, Dave Krieg scanned the field, his eyes locked on Mike Rozier breaking free in the backfield. The crowd roared as Rozier plowed through defenders, gaining precious yards that sealed another hard-fought win. In the locker room afterward, Marty Schottenheimer looked at his team—not with celebration yet, but with quiet pride. They had done it: they were AFC West champions again.
