NFL team season
The1998 season was theKansas City Chiefs ' 39th in theNational Football League (NFL) and their 29th overall.
The season began with the team hoping to not only improve on their 13–3 campaign the previous season but to also avenge their loss in the1998 playoffs against the eventualSuper Bowl champion Denver Broncos . However, instead, the Chiefs failed to succeed in the highly competitiveAFC West .
Kansas City began the season on a bright spot, with a 4–1 record and three wins against division rivals; however they then endured a 6-game losing streak, dropping their record to 4–7, and the team finished with a 7–9 record and 4th place in theAFC West . The biggest low point of the season was during a Week 11 matchup against their division rivalDenver Broncos , in which the Chiefs defense were penalized five times on the same drive, including three penalties by linebacker Derrick Thomas, topping off an embarrassing 30–7 loss.
This was the first losing season ofhead coach Marty Schottenheimer 's career. Following the season, Schottenheimer announced his intention to resign after ten seasons with the team, anddefensive coordinator Gunther Cunningham assumed coaching duties for1999 .
This was the first time Derrick Thomas was not named to the Pro Bowl roster.
On April 9,Marcus Allen announced his retirement.

The Chiefs began the season well on September 6 with an impressive performance and easily defeated the Oakland Raiders at Arrowhead 28–8.Kansas City sacked the Raiders quarterbacks 10 times, withDerrick Thomas collecting 6 by himself.
On September 13, Kansas City fell to theJacksonville Jaguars on the road, 21–16.
On September 27, the Chiefs visited thePhiladelphia Eagles for the first time in franchise history.
On October 4, Kansas City conquered the Seattle Seahawks and the rain at Arrowhead, 17–6.Rich Gannon hitAndre 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 improved the Chiefs' record to 4–1, however a 6-game losing streak following this game dropped the team to 4–7.
On November 16, against the Denver Broncos, the Chiefs defense was penalized five times on one drive, three of the penalties coming from legendary linebacker Derrick Thomas. The game is known now by Chiefs fans as the "Monday Night Meltdown". After that it was all downhill as the Chiefs suffered their first losing season since 1988.
