The 1973 Kansas City Chiefs season ended with a 7–5–2 record and third place finish in the AFC West.For 1973 the defense kept the club in contention thanks to a nucleus that still included the bulk of the squad’s Super Bowl IV starters. Quarterback Mike Livingston started in a 23–13 Opening Day loss against Oakland on September 16 but Len Dawson returned to rally the club for three consecutive wins to get the club off to a 3–1 start for a third consecutive year.
