AFL Championship Game Kansas City Chiefs 31, Buffalo Bills 7 :
January 1, 1967, at War Memorial Stadium, Buffalo, New YorkAttendance: 42,080 The Bills entered the
AFL championship game seeking their
third consecutive title. Though the game was played in Buffalo, the visiting Kansas City Chiefs were three-point favorites, mainly because of their explosive and innovative offense led by head coach
Hank Stram. The Bills were a more conventional team with a solid defensive line and a running mindset on offense. Buffalo found no offensive rhythm in the second half, and the Chiefs closed the game out in the fourth quarter with Dawson found
Chris Burford for a 45-yard gain, setting up a one-foot touchdown run by rookie
Mike Garrett. Less than two minutes later, Garrett scored a second touchdown following another Bills fumble.
