Super Bowl 4 Game Recap

The Purple People Eaters were favored big, but it was the Kansas City Chiefs who were determined to not become two-time Super Bowl losers.

Len Dawson was nearly perfect, guiding the Chiefs to a 16-0 halftime lead and a Super Bowl IV victory over the Minnesota Vikings at Tulane University.

The AFL champion Chief used its own powerful defense to stifle Joe Kapp and the Vikings in a 23-7 victory.
Dawson, chosen Super Bowl IV MVP, completed 12 of 17 passes and hit Otis Taylor for a 46-yard score in the second half which sealed the win.

Kansas City's defense didn't enjoy the same hype, but enjoyed more success, as it limited Minnesota's rushing game to 67 yards. They forced five turnovers - three interceptions and two fumbles.

Jan Stenerud booted three field goals for KC, which became the second straight double-digit dog to win outright in the Super Bowl. The crowd of 80,562 set a Super Bowl record.
