The2013 seasonwas theKansas City Chiefs' 44th in theNational Football League(NFL), their 54th overall and their first under thehead coach/general manager tandem ofAndy ReidandJohn Dorsey.After their 26–16 win over thePhiladelphia Eaglesin Week 3, which was also coach Andy Reid's first visit to Philadelphia since the Eagles fired him the season prior, the Chiefs vastly improved on their 2–14 record from2012just three weeks into the season. However, despite starting 9–0, the Chiefs would struggle in the second half of the season, losing 5 out of their last 7 games, and losing control of the AFC West. Despite that, they would still make the playoffs. After defeating theNew York Giants31–7 in Week 4, the Chiefs became the first team in NFL history to win two or fewer games in the previous season, and win the first four games the next.[2]On October 13, 2013, against theOakland Raiders,Chiefs fans broke theGuinness World Recordfor loudest crowd roar at an outdoor stadium[3]with 137.5 decibels.[4]Seattle Seahawksfans later reclaimed the record on December 2, 2013, with a roar of 137.6 decibels.[5]After theIndianapolis Coltsdefeated theDenver Broncosin Week 7, the Chiefs were the final undefeated team in the NFL. They were the first team in NFL history to earn the number one draft pick and be the last undefeated team in consecutive years.[6]

The Chiefs clinched a playoff berth. They would lose to the Indianapolis Colts in the Wild Card round of theplayoffs45–44, after blowing a 38–10 lead. The loss extended an 8-game playoff losing streak dating back to the1993 season,which stood as the longest in NFL history until it was broken by theDetroit Lionsin 2016.[7]
