The Kansas City Chiefs have won two Super Bowls in a row and are going for a third, and the vibes are running high within the franchise. Why wouldn’t they be? Their stellar playoff run in 2023 quieted a lot of naysayers, and the team looks poised to run it back in 2024.
A big part of the reason for the Chiefs’ sustained success, especially last season, has been some of their difference-makers on defense, specifically defensive tackle Chris Jones. Jones has been a stalwart, and somebody Kansas City has been able to count on whenever they’ve needed him.
He’s getting a little older nowadays, he turns 30 the day before Independence Day, and had a couple of jokes for his head coach, Andy Reid (via: Kansas City Star):
Jones is now entering his ninth season with the Chiefs. If anybody on that roster has earned the right to get some days off, Jones has to be pretty high on that list. He tried to take advantage of that, but we’ll see if it pays off for him.
