  • The 2000 season was the Kansas City Chiefs' 31st in the National Football League (NFL), their 41st overall and their second and final season under head coach Gunther Cunningham. They failed to improve on their 9–7 record from 1999 and finished the season 7–9, marked by a series of on and off-field struggles and incidents.

    In the offseason, 9-time Pro Bowl linebacker, team captain, and fan favorite Derrick Thomas died. He was the first of three active NFL players to die in the 2000 offseason, along with Raiders safety Eric Turner (cancer) and Panthers running back Fred Lane (homicide). He died of a pulmonary embolism that occurred due to becoming paralyzed following a January car accident.

    In the Week 10 game against the Oakland Raiders, Chiefs quarterback Elvis Grbac set a franchise record for passing yards in a single game with 504.

    The Chiefs gave the San Diego Chargers their only victory of the season, losing to them in Week 13.

    After the season, Warren Moon, who had been in the NFL since 1984, retired.
