Kansas City Chiefs standout Chris Jones expressed frustration about the officiating and brought attention to Dallas Cowboys’ player Micah Parsons during a recent game. Despite the Chiefs’ success in the Super Wild Card, Jones, after watching the Cowboys vs. Packers game, noted Parsons’ effectiveness in drawing holding calls and hinted at adopting a similar approach on social media.
Jones, a former All-Pro and Super Bowl champion, contested the crediting of a half-sack in the Chiefs’ recent victory, expressing discontent with the stat-keeping. He applauded teammate George Karlaftis for the other half of the sack and emphasized trust in the Chiefs’ defense, which ranked second in scoring and yards allowed this season.
While Jones laughed off the sack discrepancy, some teammates faced criticism, particularly wideout Mecole Hardman, unfavorably compared to former star Tyreek Hill. The Chiefs’ offense, usually explosive, had a lackluster season, ranking ninth in yards gained and 15th in points scored. Despite challenges, rookie Rashee Rice made a significant contribution with eight receptions, 130 yards, and two touchdowns.
As the Chiefs await their playoff fate, they will either visit the No. 2 seeded Bills or host the Steelers in the Division Round. The decision, announced by New York Governor Kathy Hochul and NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, comes after travel bans were lifted. The Chiefs had previously faced the Bills, suffering a 20-17 defeat at home in Week 14, while Buffalo enters the matchup with a five-game winning streak.
