The 1976 Kansas City Chiefs season was the franchise 's seventh season in the National Football League , the fourteenth as the Kansas City Chiefs , and the seventeenth overall. It ended with a third consecutive 5–9 record and the Chiefs missed the playoffs for the fifth consecutive season.
Buck Buchanan announced his retirement in February, while Len Dawson announced his own departure on May 1.[1] Jack Steadman was promoted to team president and Jim Schaaf was named general manager in August.[1] New Orleans Saints , the first win with the Saints for former Kansas City coach Hank Stram (who refused to shake hands with Wiggin following the game and rode off on the shoulders of his players as he did after the Chiefs' victory in Super Bowl IV ) before suffering a 50–17 setback at Buffalo on October 3, opening the season at 0–4 for the first time in team history.[1] [1]
After lingering in Len Dawson's shadow for eight seasons, Mike Livingston was firmly entrenched as the team's starting quarterback,[1] 1968 . Although Livingston played well and rallied the squad for wins in two of the season's final three games, the Chiefs still ended the year with their third consecutive 5–9 record.[1] MacArthur Lane was the club's top offensive threat, becoming the only player at the time in franchise history to lead the league in receptions (66 ).
