Kansas City, Mo. ? The Kansas City Chiefs and Green Bay Packers made football history once upon a time — and then pretty much went their separate ways.

Green Bay beat the Chiefs, 35-10, in the first Super Bowl Jan. 15, 1967. Since then, the two teams haven’t met at all in the postseason and only seven times in the regular season.

The last time was in 1996 — and the Chiefs haven’t played in Green Bay since 1990, a whole Bush administration ago. They did meet in this year’s Hall of Fame exhibition game — but both teams used their starters sparingly, and bad weather ended the game early.

Still, the Chiefs and Packers know a few things about each other going into Sunday’s matchup at Lambeau Field.

“We know who Dante Hall is,” Packers quarterback Brett Favre said. “We know who Priest Holmes is — and, of course, we know Vonnie Holliday.”

With good reason.

Holliday, who leads Kansas City with four sacks this year, played his first four seasons in Green Bay before joining the Chiefs this past offseason.

Holmes shares the NFL lead with seven touchdown carries — more on his co-leader later — and ranks second in the AFC with 483 yards rushing.

And Hall — for anyone who hasn’t heard by now — is a highlight clip waiting to happen every time he settles under a punt or a kickoff.

He has run back a kick for a touchdown in four straight games, an NFL record by two games and counting.

This week, Hall will be going against a team that ranks among the NFL’s best in both punt and kickoff coverage — but he still expects to break a return for a TD.

“I really do,” Hall said. “I always do. I know that sounds funny, me saying that, but I’ve always thought that. The difference now, I think, is that everybody thinks that who’s blocking on the return team.”

The Chiefs know a few things about the Packers, too.

One is that running back Ahman Green is as dangerous on the ground as Holmes. The two-time Pro Bowler also has seven rushing TDs — and the Packers are 3-0 this season when Green goes over the 100-yard mark.

“He’s a very dynamite runner,” defensive end Eric Hicks said. “He’s pretty much a mix of all the backs we’ve seen this year: the speed of a (Denver’s) Clinton Portis type, the power of a (Baltimore’s) Jamal Lewis, with everybody else mixed in.”

Oh, and then there’s Favre — Super Bowl winner, future Hall of Famer and one of the game’s fiercest competitors.

“He’s so aggressive and so competitive that their team is never out of it at any point in time,” Chiefs quarterback Trent Green said. “His attitude and his approach to the game carries over to the whole team — not just from a leadership standpoint for the offense, but for the whole team.

“He’s just so much a leader in so many different ways that it’s fun to watch him.”

It would also be a badge of honor to sack him, Hicks said.

“That’s a big challenge, and I’m looking forward to it — the opportunity to get to a quarterback like Brett Favre if I can,” he said. “A lot of guys would like to have Brett Favre as a quarterback they’ve sacked.”

Favre led five straight scoring drives in last week’s 35-13 win over previously unbeaten Seattle — something that wasn’t lost on Chiefs coach Dick Vermeil.

“That’s just not done in the NFL,” Vermeil said.
