The 2007 Kansas City Chiefs season began with the team looking to improve on their 9–7 record in 2006 and attempting to secure the franchise's first back-to-back playoff berth since 1995. The season ended with a nine-game losing streak, the team's first since 1987 and a 4–12 record. It was the Chiefs' first season with twelve losses since 1978. Considered a year of transition,〔Teicher, Adam. (It's summer, but no KC vacation ) ''Kansas City Star'', June 22, 2007.〕〔Teicher, Adam. (Transition marks start of training camp ) ''Kansas City Star'', July 27, 2007.〕 the 2007 season marked the Chiefs' forty-fifth season in Kansas City, Missouri, and final before renovations began at Arrowhead Stadium. Quarterback Trent Green was traded to the Miami Dolphins, leaving the door open for second-year quarterback Brodie Croyle or back-up quarterback Damon Huard to win the starting job. Huard was named starting quarterback on August 25 for the team's first game of the season,〔(Huard named starting quarterback ) ''Kansas City Star'', August 25, 2007.〕 but Croyle replaced him after Huard was injured in the game against Denver in Week 10. Five different running backs were used after Larry Johnson was injured in Week 9 against Green Bay. The team also had no stability at quarterback with Croyle and Huard, who both nursed injuries throughout the season, while their offensive line depleted following the retirement of their former Pro Bowl guard Will Shields. To honor their late team owner and founder Lamar Hunt, the Chiefs wore a special American Football League patch on their uniforms with the initials "LH" emblazoned inside the logo's football. ==Schedule== The Chiefs' 2007 schedule was announced on April 11, 2007.〔Teicher, Adam.
