Kansas City Chiefs: Ten Worst Seasons in Team History

Worst seasons in Kansas City Chiefs history: No. 6, 2007 (4-12)

After a 9-7 record and a playoff appearance in 2006, one would have thought that 2007 would be another successful season for the Kansas City Chiefs.

Instead, however, the team traded Trent Green to the Miami Dolphins in favor of Brodie Croyle starting at quarterback (whyyyyy?) because head coach Herm Edwards wanted the team to have a youth renovation.

The 2007 season was awful for a lot of reasons, but poor quarterback and running back play was a huge part of it.

Despite Croyle nearly being handed the starting quarterback job on a silver platter, he still messed it up and Damon Huard was named the starter heading into the regular season.

The beginning of the season didn’t go too terribly, as the team actually posted a winning record at the bye week. It was all downhill from there, however, as the Chiefs went on to lose their final nine games and end the season with a 4-12 record.

The 2007 season was awful for a lot of reasons, but poor quarterback and running back play was a huge part of it. Croyle and Huard both were injured frequently, having to rotate back and forth who played, and neither was up for the task.

As for the running backs, Larry Johnson was injured after the bye week and the position never had stability after that.

The 2007 season was bad, but the followup year was even worse. More on that later.
