Wishful thinking? Probably. The Chiefs still have to play either the Buffalo Bills or Boston Patriots for the A.F.L. title, and the N.F.L. team that goes to next month's "Super Bowl"-most likely the Green Bay Packers or Dallas Cowboys-will be favored to win.

For the waiver price of $100, Wilson obtained 270-lb. Earl Faison, a four-time all-A.F.L. defensive end who had played out his option with the San Diego Chargers. For a passer, all Coach Wilson had to do was dicker across...
