1999 Kansas City Chiefs season

NFL team season From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 1999 season was the Kansas City Chiefs' 30th in the National Football League (NFL) and their 40th overall. The season began with the promotion of defensive coordinator Gunther Cunningham to head coach following the resignation of Marty Schottenheimer after the Chiefs finished with a 7–9 record in 1998.

The team improved on that in 1999, finishing with a 9–7 record, which was good enough for second place in the AFC West. However, the Chiefs were denied the division title and a playoff berth in the final game of the season against the Oakland Raiders, when Raiders kicker Joe Nedney kicked a field goal in overtime. This game also was the final game future Hall of Fame linebacker Derrick Thomas played in just over a month before his death on February 8, 2000.

With the Week 17 loss to the Raiders, the Chiefs were eliminated from playoff contention, which resulted in the Seahawks clinching the AFC West for the first time since 1988. It would also mark the second and, ultimately, final time the Seahawks won the AFC West; they would move to the NFC West prior to the 2002 season.
