San Francisco 49ers defensive coordinator Paul Wiggin was named the second head coach in franchise history on January 23.http://www.kcchiefs.com/history/70s Kansas City Chiefs History 1970's July 30, 2007 https://web.archive.org/web/20070823170852/http://www.kcchiefs.com/history/70s/ August 23, 2007 dead mdy-all A former Pro Bowl defensive end for the Cleveland Browns, Wiggin inherited the unenviable task of rebuilding a squad whose pool of talent had been largely depleted due to age and a number of ill-fated trades that had left the club devoid of first-round draft choices in 1973 and 1975. After an 0–3 start to the season, Wiggin directed the Chiefs to three straight wins, beginning with a convincing 42–10 victory against the Raiders on October 12. The highlight of the season was a 34–31 upset win at Dallas on Monday Night Football. The club could not maintain the early success. Owning a 5–5 record heading into the homestretch of the season, injuries to a number of key players crippled the team. The team dropped its final four contests of the year to finish at 5–9 for the second consecutive season. The regular season finale at Oakland marked the final games in the Hall of Fame careers of Len Dawson and Buck Buchanan. 3 Offseason NFL draft 1975 NFL draft 1975 Kansas City Chiefs 2 34 Elmore Stephens Tight end Kentucky 3 59 Cornelius Walker Defensive tackle Rice 6 137 Morris LaGrand Running back Tampa yes 6 139 Dave Wasick Linebacker San Jose State 8 189 Wayne Hoffman Tight end Oklahoma 11 268 Dale Hegland Guard Minnesota 12 293 James Rackley Running back Florida A&M 13 318 John Snider Linebacker Stanford 14 346 Gene Moshier Guard Vanderbilt 16 396 Mark Petersen Defensive end Illinois 17 424 Mike Bulino Defensive back Pittsburgh no nohttps://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/kan/1975_draft.htm 1975 Kansas City Chiefs Draftees Pro Football Reference February 19, 2022 Roster 1975 Kansas City Chiefs 11 Tony Adams quarterback 13 Wayne Clark quarterback 41 Doug Dressler 27 Woody Green 31 Jeff Kinney American football 42 MacArthur Lane 14 Ed Podolak 83 Larry Brunson 80 Reggie Craig y 85 Barry Pearson 84 Billy Masters American football 88 Walter White American football y 56 Charlie Ane III y C 77 Charlie Getty T 70 Jim Nicholson offensive lineman T 66 Rocky Rasley G 58 Jack Rudnay C 62 Bill Story y no T 67 Michael Wilson offensive lineman G 86 Buck Buchanan DT -- Larry Estes DT/DE 74 Tom Keating American football DT 79 John Matuszak DE -- Louis Ross American football DE 99 Wilbur Young DE 53 Ken Avery OLB 50 Tim Kearney American football OLB 63 Willie Lanier MLB 51 Jim Lynch OLB 57 Al Palewicz MLB 55 Bill Peterson linebacker OLB 21 Hise Austin CB 46 Jim Kearney American football SS 47 Don Martin American football CB 15 Kerry Reardon CB 20 Mike Sensibaugh FS 18 Emmitt Thomas CB  5 Jim McCann P  3 Jan Stenerud K 64 Randy Beisler G IR 68 Roger Bernhardt G IR 71 Ed Budde G IR 16 Len Dawson QB IR 60 Matt Herkenhoff y T IR 10 Mike Livingston QB IR 87 John Lohmeyer DT IR 75 Bob Maddox DT IR 40 Jim Marsalis CB IR  7 Mike Nott y QB IR 73 Gery Palmer G IR 89 Otis Taylor American football WR IR 81 Marvin Upshaw DE IR -- Dave Wasick y no LB IR 54 Clyde Werner LB IR 44 Jerrel Wilson P IR Preseason Week Date Opponent Result Record Venue Attendance Recap 1 August 9, 1975 St. Louis Cardinals L 3–10 0–1 Arrowhead Stadium 40,081 Recap 2 August 18, 1975 Dallas Cowboys W 26–20 1–1 Arrowhead Stadium 35,630 Recap 3 August 23, 1975 at Detroit Lions L 24–27 1–2 Pontiac Metropolitan Stadium 62,094 Recap 4 August 30, 1975 Los Angeles Rams L 6–14 1–3 Arrowhead Stadium 39,814 Recap 5 September 6, 1975 Green Bay Packers W 31–3 2–3 Arrowhead Stadium 35,543 Recap 6 September 12, 1975 at Buffalo Bills W 9–7 3–3 Rich Stadium 48,691 Recap Regular season Schedule Week Date Opponent Result Record Venue Attendance Recap 1 September 21 at Denver Broncos L 33–37 0–1 Mile High Stadium 51,858 Recap 2 September 28 New York Jets L 24–30 0–2 Arrowhead Stadium 73,939 Recap 3 October 5 San Francisco 49ers L 3–20 0–3 Arrowhead Stadium 54,490 Recap 4 October 12 Oakland Raiders W 42–10 1–3 Arrowhead Stadium 60,425 Recap 5 October 19 at San Diego Chargers W 12–10 2–3 San Diego Stadium 26,469 Recap 6 October 26 Denver Broncos W 26–13 3–3 Arrowhead Stadium 70,043 Recap 7 November 2 Houston Oilers L 13–17 3–4 Arrowhead Stadium 62,989 Recap 8 November 10, 1975 at Dallas Cowboys W 34–31 4–4 Texas Stadium 63,539 Recap 9 November 16 at Pittsburgh Steelers L 3–28 4–5 Three Rivers Stadium 48,803 Recap 10 November 23 Detroit Lions W 24–21 (OT) 5–5 Arrowhead Stadium 55,161 Recap 11 November 30 at Baltimore Colts L 14–28 5–6 Memorial Stadium 42,122 Recap 12 December 7 San Diego Chargers L 20–28 5–7 Arrowhead Stadium 46,888 Recap 13 December 14 at Cleveland Browns L 14–40 5–8 Cleveland Stadium 44,368 Recap 14 December 21 at Oakland Raiders L 20–28 5–9 Oakland–Alameda County Coliseum 48,604 Recap Note: Intra-division opponents are in bold text.
