KANSAS CITY, Mo. \u2014 Three-time All-Pro defensive tackle Chris Jones decided to deactivate his social media accounts this week after the effort by the Kansas City Chiefs\u2019 star pass rusher was called into question in the final seconds of\u00a0last week’s loss in Jacksonville.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The Chiefs had just driven 86 yards to take the lead when Trevor Lawrence led the Jaguars back downfield. They got help from a pass interference call in the end zone that set up first-and-goal with 23 seconds left \u2014 but with no timeouts left. Lawrence took a snap from center and got his foot stepped on by his right guard, sending him sprawling to the ground.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Jones appeared to be playing the pass and stood up on the play. Meanwhile, the Jacksonville quarterback scrambled to his feet and into the end zone, all while Jones stood watching, giving the Jaguars a 31-28 victory Monday night.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cYou can\u2019t think that the guy is down. You can\u2019t think that,\u201d Chiefs coach Andy Reid said Wednesday. \u201cYou have to play the play. He knows. He\u2019s been around this a long time. That\u2019s really what it came down to.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Jones said after the game that \u201cI thought multiple times we had him.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve just got to finish,\u201d he continued. \u201cWe\u2019ve got to finish. Multiple guys there that we\u2019ve just got to finish that play. It was a fluke play for him to be able to break that many tackles. Yeah, I put it on us as a defense. We\u2019ve got to finish.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

That play was not the first time that Jones, who has been to six consecutive Pro Bowls, has been criticized this season.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

In the Chiefs\u2019 season opener against the Chargers in Brazil, Patrick Mahomes & Co. had got them to within 27-21 with 2 1\/2 minutes remaining, leaving it up to their defense to get the ball back. They sacked Justin Herbert for a big loss on second down, setting up third-and-14 at the Los Angeles 34 \u2014 and potentially good field position with a stop.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

But on the ensuing pass play, Jones ducked inside the offensive tackle and lost containment, allowing Herbert to scoot around the right side. His 19-yard gain gave the Chargers a first down, and they were able to run out the clock from there.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cA lot of guys are harping on the play,\u201d Chiefs linebacker Nick Bolton said of the Jaguars\u2019 go-ahead score on Monday night, \u201cbut you have to keep your eyes where they\u2019re supposed to be. Guys are just trying to play fast and make a play. I\u2019m not harping too much on what the outside people are saying. Everybody is doing their job to the best of their ability.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

Jones has struggled to make much of an impact this season, though, thanks in part to countless double and triple teams. He has just seven tackles and one sack through the first five games, and six sacks total in his last 20 regular-season contests.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
\n

That\u2019s not exactly the kind of production the Chiefs envisioned when they signed him to a\u00a0five-year, $158.75 million contract\u00a0in March 2024, a deal that included $95 million guaranteed and made him the highest-paid defensive tackle in NFL history.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Meanwhile, the Chiefs are preparing to face the streaking Lions on Sunday night as they try to avoid a 2-4 start to the season.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cWe\u2019re going to continue to bounce back,\u201d Jones said Monday night. \u201cWe\u2019ve got a quick week, quick turnover for the week coming up. I think this group will bounce back. I think we\u2019re going to fix the errors that we can control, the penalties. Once we eliminate the penalties and play disciplined football, I think we\u2019ll put ourselves in good position to win.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
