Regular Season
The Chiefs began the season well on September 6 with an impressive performance and easily defeat the Oakland Raiders at Arrowhead 28–8. Kansas City sacked the Raiders quarterbacks 10 times, with Derrick Thomas collecting 6 by himself.
On September 13, Kansas City falls to the Jacksonville Jaguars on the road, 21–16.
On October 4, Kansas City conquers the Seattle Seahawks and the rain at Arrowhead, 17–6. Rich Gannon hit Andre Rison for an 80-yard touchdown pass after a 54-minute rain delay caused by a violent storm. The two teams combined for nine turnovers, five by Kansas City. The win improves the Chiefs' record to 4–1.
That would be the high point of the season as the chiefs would lose 8 of the last 11 games and finished with their first losing season since 1988.

Famous quotes containing the words regular and/or season:
“It was inspiriting to hear the regular dip of the paddles, as if they were our fins or flippers, and to realize that we were at length fairly embarked. We who had felt strangely as stage-passengers and tavern-lodgers were suddenly naturalized there and presented with the freedom of the lakes and woods.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“How many things by season seasoned are
To their right praise and true perfection!”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
