Top 10 Kansas City Chiefs Rivalries

The Chiefs and Raiders rivalry is harsh, hostile, and bitter. These two teams just straight-up hate each other. They go way back to the AFL days.

There have been many notable games between these two teams, including the 1968 playoff game where both teams were 12-2, the 1969 AFL championship, and the 1970 tie, which was when the rivalry truly started to boil. The Chiefs were leading late, but Ben Davidson dove into Len Dawson with his helmet. Davidson was then attacked by Chiefs wide receiver Otis Taylor, sparking a bench-clearing brawl.

There was also the 2017 Thursday night game in which Oakland won 31-30. Kansas City currently leads the series 65-53-2 and has a 2-1 postseason advantage despite Oakland having 3 Super Bowls while KC has 1.

As a Chiefs fan, there are three things that are inevitable: death, taxes, and hating the Oakland Raiders.

Denver is another division foe who has been in the same division as KC since the AFL days. Both these teams have hostile home environments, and the games are usually close.

Some highlights from this rivalry could be seen during the John Elway era at Denver, including his shootout with Joe Montana, as well as the game in Arrowhead where the Chiefs fans were so loud they almost got a penalty because Elway couldn't hear.

This rivalry has been pretty tense but not as tense as the Raiders rivalry. Kansas City currently leads 63-55 all time, but Denver has a 1-0 advantage in the playoffs.

The Chiefs and Colts rivalry isn't really notable for the regular season games but rather for their postseason meetings. They have met in the playoffs five times, and Indianapolis is 4-1 so far.

There was the 2003 AFC divisional game and the 2006 wild card game. The most memorable had to have been the 2013 wild card game in which Indy won 45-44 after Kansas City went full Reid. The most recent playoff matchup was 2018 in which Kansas City won 31-13.

Indianapolis leads the all-time series 16-10.

The Chiefs and Chargers rivalry isn't quite as strong as with the other divisional foes. Don't get me wrong, we still hate them but not as strongly as Denver or Oakland.

Kansas City leads 61-56-1, but the Chargers have a 1-0 advantage in the playoffs. This rivalry has heated up recently with both KC and LA in contention for a division title. KC has won 9 of the last 10, but LA won the last meeting at Arrowhead in a classic game.

Oddly enough, yes, this rivalry has been in existence for a while. Buffalo leads 26-21-1 and 2-1 in the playoffs. While not as big anymore, it was pretty significant in the '60s and early '90s.

I had no idea this was even a rivalry.

This rivalry started when these two teams met in Super Bowl I. While it has gone dormant since these two teams only meet once every four years, there have still been some memorable moments, including the 2003 game in which KC won 40-34 in OT.

In 2007, Brett Favre beat the Chiefs to get a win against every NFL team. In 2011, Kansas City pulled off an upset over the 13-0 Packers, giving them their only loss of the regular season. KC leads all-time 7-4-1.

With the two teams set to meet in the 2019 season, it will be interesting to see what happens in Rodgers vs. Mahomes.

Is there any team New England isn't rivals with at this point? These two teams have had an interesting rivalry over the past few years, with the Patriots winning 3 of the last 5, including two playoff wins.

To the Chiefs, please do us a favor and win against Tom Brady.

The Chiefs and Dolphins have met exactly 30 times in their history, including 3 playoff meetings. Miami has won all 3 and leads 16-14 all-time. This rivalry has kind of gone dormant, however.

These two teams have met twice in the playoffs and 35 times overall. The Steelers have been dominant in the series, winning 23 games compared to Kansas City's 12. They have split the postseason meetings 1-1.
