Chris Jones owns up to mistake in Chiefs’ loss to Jaguars: ‘It’s a teaching point for me,’ he says
October 9, 2025
Chris Jones has owned up to his mistake in the Chiefs’ loss to Jacksonville. The All-Pro defensive tackle thought Trevor Lawrence was down and stopped on the play when the quarterback scrambled to his feet and scored the winning touchdown with 23 seconds left, giving the Jaguars a 31-28 victory. Jones called it a teaching moment and emphasized the importance of playing until the whistle. Chiefs defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo noted the team got caught up in the moment. Jones has faced criticism but says he grades himself differently. Chiefs players, including Patrick Mahomes, have defended him this week.
