those mistakes can really kill you
KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Just days after his most embarrassing moment of the season, Chiefs pass rusher Chris Jones addressed why he didn't give maximum effort on the Jaguars' game-winning touchdown and said his social media accounts weren't deactivated as an attempt to avoid criticism.
With 30 seconds left Monday and the Jaguars at the 1-yard line trailing by four, quarterback Trevor Lawrence stumbled under center but was able to get up and scamper across the goal line for the winning score. Jones, who led the Chiefs' defensive line with 48 snaps, watched the sequence from the middle of the field and didn't make a considerable effort to pursue and tackle Lawrence.
"It's a teaching point for me, a little adversity," Jones said Thursday. "I can't think the play is over. It's a learning lesson. I thought it was over. I thought we had him down, so I kind of stopped and was about to celebrate. Then I realized he wasn't down."
Jones said he will do better going forward and that such an incident "won't happen again."
He also shared that he had deactivated his X and Instagram accounts prior to Monday's game, the opposite of what most fans thought after the loss.
