Chiefs' Chris Jones Deactivates Social Media After Effort Questioned on Jaguars' Winning TD

A public admonition from Andy Reid for not "playing the play" has sharpened scrutiny of the All-Pro's effort and production.

Overview

  • Trevor Lawrence's stumble-and-score with 23 seconds left sealed Jacksonville's 31-28 win, with video showing Jones standing as the quarterback got up and ran in.
  • Reid said Wednesday, "You can't think that the guy is down... you have to play the play," marking a rare public critique of the veteran lineman.
  • Jones deactivated his social media accounts after widespread backlash from fans and analysts, including Emmanuel Acho calling the effort "completely unacceptable."
  • After the game, Jones said the defense failed to finish the play and emphasized rush-lane discipline, adding he put it on the unit to make the stop.
  • Kansas City is 2-3 entering Week 6 against the Lions, and Jones has seven tackles and one sack through five games after signing a five-year, roughly $158.7 million extension in 2024.
