Chris Jones Talks About the Controversial Play and Closing His Social Media Accounts
Chiefs player Chris Jones recently addressed the incident that generated controversy during the game against the Jaguars, where he was criticized for his lack of effort in the decisive touchdown play. Jones also clarified the reasons behind the temporary closure of his social media accounts. During the encounter, with 30 seconds remaining and the Jaguars one yard from the end zone, quarterback Trevor Lawrence managed to advance and score the winning touchdown. Jones, who had participated in 48 defensive plays, did not make a significant effort to stop Lawrence, which generated criticism.Jones assured that this situation will help him improve and that it will not happen again. In addition, he explained that he deactivated his X and Instagram accounts before the match, contrary to what many fans believed after the defeat. Jones shared that he had posted a quote from Drake: “I’ll see you in the summer of 2026.” He stated that he never runs away from constructive criticism and uses it as motivation. The Chiefs’ next challenge is Sunday night’s game against the Lions. Jones is aware of the need for an outstanding performance to stop the offense led by Jared Goff, Jahmyr Gibbs, and David Montgomery. Jones concluded by saying that he has been focused on the Lions since Monday’s game, emphasizing the importance of learning from each game and moving forward.It’s a learning point for me, a small adversity. I can’t think the play is over. It’s a lesson. I thought it was over. I thought we had taken him down, so I stopped and was about to celebrate. Then I realized he wasn’t on the ground.
