11/11/1990 - Remember when Derrick Thomas sacked Seahawks Quarterback Dave Krieg a record 7 times in one game? Unfortunately for D.T. & the Chiefs, Krieg was able to slip out of sack # 8 to heave a prayer into the end zone to Paul Skansi giving Seattle a 17-16 victory as time ran out. R.I.P. Derrick.

Did you know that Dave Krieg holds the NFL record for Most Sack Yards lost? Dave was taken down 494 times over his 19 year career for 3,794 yards. The Chiefs collected 70 yards lost on 9 sacks that day in Arrowhead

R.I.P. - Joe Delaney

Today we’re remembering Kansas City Chiefs Running Back Joe Delaney . The 1981 rookie of the year only played in 23 career games, before his life was tragically cut short on June 29th, 1983. He risked, and ultimately lost his life trying to save three young boys who were drowning in a pond near his Louisiana home. Joe couldn’t swim himself, but laid it all on the line to try and save them. No-one since has worn the #37 for the Chiefs. RIP Joe
