The paint was hardly dry on Arrowhead Stadium when the Eagles paid their first visit in October 1972. The Kansas City Chiefs had just moved into their beautiful new home that summer and when the Eagles arrived in Week 6 of the regular season, they were dragging along a five-game losing streak.
Actually, it was worse than that. The Eagles had lost the last four preseason games so when they started the regular season 0-5 they were on a nine-game skid that looked like it could extend through Christmas. They scored just 38 points in the five regular-season losses.
