KANSAS CITY CHIEF’S LAST TRIP TO SUPER BOWL IN 1970 PLAGUED BY MOB GAMBLING UNDERTONES

KANSAS CITY CHIEF’S LAST TRIP TO SUPER BOWL IN 1970 PLAGUED BY MOB GAMBLING UNDERTONES On January 11, 1970, in Super Bowl IV, Hall of Fame field general Len Dawson came back from a season-long battle with a knee injury to lead the underdog Chiefs to a 23-7 upset of favored Minnesota to claim the proud organization’s only world championship. The game was played in New Orleans and the Chiefs were getting 12 points on the betting line. Some Kansas City mobsters were caught on an FBI bug planted at the North View Social Club discussing the vast amount of hometown betting action they were getting on the contest and the intercepted conversations were soon used to arrest K.C. mafia don Nick Civella.
