The 2000 San Diego Chargers season began with the team trying to improve on their 8–8 record in 1999. Instead, the team lost its first eleven games before their only victory of the season against the Kansas City Chiefs (by one point, which was obtained on a last-second field goal). It is the worst record of any Chargers team in history. The Carolina Panthers would match this embarrassment the next year.
San Diego had a historically inept running attack in 2000; their 1,062 total team rushing yards (66.4 per game) is the lowest total of rushing yards by any team in NFL history in a 16-game season. For perspective, the strike-shortened 1982 NFL season—which was a nine-game schedule—included thirteen teams who rushed for more yards than San Diego did in 2000.
After their miserable season, the Chargers earned the 1st overall pick in the next season's draft.
