Chiefs’ Chris Jones Deactivates Social Media After Costly Mistake in Loss to Jaguars

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' star pass rusher was called into question in the final seconds of last week's loss in Jacksonville.

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 — 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.

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.

"You can't think that the guy is down. You can't think that," Chiefs coach Andy Reid said Wednesday. "You have to play the play. He knows. He's been around this a long time. That's really what it came down to."

Jones said after the game that "I thought multiple times we had him."

"We’ve just got to finish," he continued. "We’ve got to finish. Multiple guys there that we’ve 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’ve got to finish."

That play was not the first time that Jones, who has been to six consecutive Pro Bowls, has been criticized this season.

In the Chiefs' 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,
