The Star’s documentary, narrated by Chiefs beat reporter Terez A. Paylor, chronicles the team’s rich history of sacking opposing quarterbacks and recounts how legends like Buck Buchanan, Bobby Bell, Art Still, Neil Smith, Jared Allen and, of course, Derrick Thomas set the tone for fierce defense in Kansas City. Today, hard-working heirs Justin Houston, Tamba Hali and rookie Dee Ford are hungry to recapture that past glory.
