From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 1969 American Football League season was the tenth regular season of the American Football League, and the last one before the AFL-NFL Merger. To honor the AFL's 10th season, a special anniversary logo was designed and each Kansas City Chiefs player wore a patch on his jersey with the logo during Super Bowl IV, the final AFL-NFL World Championship Game prior to the merger of the two leagues.
The season ended when the Chiefs defeated the Oakland Raiders in the final AFL Championship Game, then went on to defeat the National Football League's Minnesota Vikings in Super Bowl IV.
For its tenth and final season before merging with the NFL, the AFL instituted a four team playoff tournament with the second place teams in each division also participating.
* — Team won division.
Italics mean team qualified for the playoffs.
