Trailer revealed for new short film on Marty Schottenheimer

A new short film centered on the career and impact of former Kansas City Chiefs head coach Marty Schottenheimer now has a trailer you can watch.

If you’ve been a Kansas City Chiefs fan long enough to remember the glory days of the ’90s, when the team’s offense was the most feared in the entire National Football League, then you likely also have a very soft spot in your heart for Marty Schottenheimer. The former Chiefs coach was beloved by fans, media members and players alike, the latter of which is certainly displayed well in a new short film about his career and impact.

One Play at at Time is a new short film intended for Marty Schottenheimer, a tribute to a man now dealing with the earliest stages of Alzheimer’s. The longtime NFL head coach has the most career wins in franchise history, but Schottenheimer also enjoyed strong success with the San Diego Chargers and Cleveland Browns, winning 200 total games in his career.

The new film features several former Chiefs players honoring the coach who helped shape them as players on the field and persons off of it. Even watching the short trailer will make you a little emotional as you watch several familiar faces talk about the legacy of Schottenheimer—what they learned and gleaned from such an important figure for so many.

Schottenheimer retired in 2006 at the top of his game, immediately following a 14-win season with the Chargers. It was the single highest win total in his career that also included two 13-win seasons with the Chiefs.
