Arrowhead History: Best Passing Games
The New Arrowhead Stadium will debut at the end of August when the Chiefs host Philadelphia in a pre-season game. After 38 seasons of Chiefs home games, the building has been updated with 21st Century amenities.
Remaining within the stadium shell are memories of the hundreds of games that have been played there since the summer of 1972. Within those games have been some memorable performances by members of the Chiefs and the visiting teams that will be featured over the next weeks leading up to the opening of the new Arrowhead.
Today, it’s the best passing games in Arrowhead Stadium history.

I’m glad Elway isn’t on the list……..
I’m not a chiefs history buff, so how many seasons did Len Dawson play @ Arrowhead?? Trent made it 6 times and i agree Don…Glad there is no Elway!!!!
Interesting, all but five are from the last ten years. With three of the five being from the early eighties. There is only one from 1974, since before that would have been in the old Municipal stadium. I remember watching the 1990 game with Warren Moon, the Defense couldn’t stop anything that day, real frustrating to watch as a Chiefs fan.

I think it’s pretty ironic that Gannon is just above Grbac on the list. And as a Raider, not a Chief. Especially after the article posted by Enrique the other day. =)
