The 1999 Kansas City Chiefs season began with the promotion of Defensive coordinator Gunther Cunningham to Head coach following the resignation of Marty Schottenheimer after the Chiefs' 1998 season . The team finished with a 9–7 record and 2nd place in the AFC West . The 1999 season marked the team's 40th season and also the anniversary of the founding of owner Lamar Hunt 's American Football League .
In the final game of the season against the Oakland Raiders , the Chiefs were denied a trip to the playoffs and a AFC West division title when Raiders kicker Joe Nedney kicked a field-goal in overtime. Coincidentally, Nedney, with the San Francisco 49ers , kicked a field goal in overtime against the Denver Broncos in 2006 and the Chiefs gained the wild-card ticket to the playoffs.
