Pro Football Hall of Fame quarterback Joe Montana sat down for an interview with CNBC’s Alex Sherman recently to discuss his career, including regrets about retiring after two seasons with the Kansas City Chiefs.
“Unfortunately, we screwed up in Kansas City and lost a game that lost home-field advantage for us and ended up going to Buffalo,” said Montana, “We should have gone to the Super Bowl that year.”
Kansas City went 11-5 in 1993, Montana’s first season with the team, leading the franchise to its first division title in 22 years. They made the AFC Championship game for the first time since the 1969 season, but fell short against the Buffalo Bills.
“We had a great team, a great organization in Kansas City, I loved my time there,” said Montana, “I look back, I got a concussion, and I started looking at my kids going, ‘I want to at least be able to physically move around and do things with them.’ Made sort of like a Bill Walsh decision. Got out of there too soon.”
Montana finished his Chiefs tenure with a 17-8 record in the regular season, passing for 5,427 yards with 29 touchdowns and 16 interceptions.
