The 2011 season was the Kansas City Chiefs ' 42nd in the National Football League (NFL), their 52nd overall and their third under the head coach/general manager tandem of Todd Haley and Scott Pioli . A 10–6 record in their 2010 season lent high expectations to their 2011 season, but the Chiefs suffered reversed fortunes. A season-ending hand injury to their starting quarterback Matt Cassel in their eighth game of the season proved especially significant. After a 4–4 record with Cassel at the helm, the Chiefs staggered to a 7–9 win–loss record by season end and failed to make the playoffs.
The Chiefs training camp began on July 29 in St. Joseph, Missouri . The Chiefs played their first preseason game on August 12 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers . On September 11, the Chiefs opened their regular season against the Buffalo Bills . They did not earn their first win until Week 4 against the Minnesota Vikings . After starting the season 5–8, head coach Todd Haley was fired after a 37–10 loss to the New York Jets . Haley was replaced by defensive coordinator Romeo Crennel on an interim basis for the remainder of the season.[1] Paul Wiggin in 1977 .
One bright spot of the season is the first game after Crennel took over as interim head coach. The Chiefs achieved an upset win against the then 13–0 Green Bay Packers to ruin their perfect season hopes; that loss would prove to be the only one the 2011 Packers suffered in their 15–1 regular season record.

Hoping to snap a three-game losing streak, the Chiefs went home for a Week 12 Sunday night duel with the Pittsburgh Steelers . Kansas City delivered the game's first punch in the opening quarter with a 41-yard field goal from kicker Ryan Succop . The Steelers would answer in the second quarter with kicker Shaun Suisham getting a 21-yard field goal, followed by quarterback Ben Roethlisberger completing a 2-yard touchdown pass to tight end Weslye Saunders . The Chiefs would reply with a 49-yard field goal from Succop, but Pittsburgh would close out the half with Suisham booting a 49-yard field goal. After a scoreless third quarter, Kansas City began to chip away at their deficit in the fourth quarter with a 40-yard field goal from Succop. However, the Steelers' defense held on to preserve the win.[citation needed
With the loss, the Chiefs fell to 4–7.

In one of the biggest upsets of the year, the Chiefs beat the heavily favored Green Bay Packers, ending their hopes of a perfect season. The Chiefs defense held Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers to 235 yards, a 49% completion percentage, and his only game of the season without multiple passing touchdowns in what was Rodgers' worst game statistically of the season.
The game was the first game coached by defensive coordinator Romeo Crennel , who served as interim head coach after Haley's departure.[5]
