#2005 KANSAS CITY CHIEFS ROSTER PRO#
Just before training camp, Pro Bowl cornerback Ty Law was added to Kansas City's lineup to strengthen the defense. Note: The Chiefs exchanged their fourth round draft pick to the New York Jets in order to acquire coach Herman Edwards. On Monday, January 9, 2006, the Chiefs made their first step throughout the 2006 offseason when they hired Herman Edwards from the New York Jets as the new head coach.
Assistant strength and conditioning – Billy Longĭick Vermeil, head coach, retired after the Chiefs' 2005 campaign. Assistant strength and conditioning – Kaz Kazadi. Special teams coordinator - Mike Priefer. Defensive assistant/quality control – Darvin Wallis. Defensive coordinator – Gunther Cunningham. Offensive assistant/quality control – Mike Ketchum.

In an unlikely clinching scenario, the Chiefs defeated the Jaguars 35–30, the Bengals, Titans, and the Broncos lost, allowing the Chiefs to clinch the sixth seed in the 2006–07 playoffs and clinching their first playoff berth since the 2003 season. The Chiefs entered Week 17 of the season a long shot to make the playoffs, needing a win and a loss from the Denver Broncos, Cincinnati Bengals, and Tennessee Titans. Despite these setbacks, the team gained momentum and finished second in the AFC West with a 4–2 divisional record. The team endured many setbacks during the 2006 season, including the loss of starting quarterback Trent Green in the first game, the readjustment of a record-breaking offense, and the death of owner and founder Lamar Hunt on December 13, 2006. The team failed to improve on their 10–6 record from 2005 after starting at 0–2 start and ending the year with a 9–7 record. The 2006 season was the Kansas City Chiefs' 37th in the National Football League (NFL), their 47th overall, their 44th in Kansas City, and their first under head coach Herm Edwards.
