The 2013 Kansas City Chiefs season is the franchise's 44th season in the National Football League, the 54th overall and the first under new head coach Andy Reid and general manager John Dorsey. After their 26-16 defeat of the Philadelphia Eagles in week 3, the Chiefs beat their win total from 2012 when they went 2-14. After defeating the New York Giants 31-7 in week 4, the Chiefs became the only team in NFL history to win 2 or fewer games in the previous season, and win the first 4 games the next.[2] On October 13, 2013 against the Oakland Raiders, Chiefs fans broke the Guinness World Record for loudest crowd roar at an outdoor stadium, which was broken by Seattle Seahawks fans earlier in the season with 136.6 decibels[3] with 137.5 decibels.[4] After the Indianapolis Colts defeated the Broncos in week 7, the Chiefs were the final undefeated team in the NFL. They are the first team in NFL history to earn the number one draft pick and be the last undefeated team in consecutive years.[5]
