The key impact defender was held off the stat sheet for the most part outside of 3 quarterback pressures (1 of which was considered a QB hit\u00a0by Pro Football Focus), and he also left the field twice in some extreme discomfort.<\/p>\n<p>The first moment of concern occurred after the Eagles\u2019 initial touchdown \u2014 which was achieved by utilizing the \u201ctush push.\u201d Clearly, Jones was caught right in the thick of the rugby-like scrum, as he was seen\u00a0receiving some sort of neck treatm<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/shorts\/tcKb2YJwPmM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external\">ent<\/a>\u00a0after the play.<\/p>\n<p>Then, later on, Jones left the game with what appeared to be some sort of \u201cknee injury.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He ended up logging just 44 defensive snaps, which was\u00a0tied for his lowest snap count\u00a0of the season \u2014 not including Week 18 in which starters were rested.<\/p>\n<p>As one of the Chiefs\u2019 highest paid players, that effort is obviously not good enough from Jones, but it\u2019s easy to forget that the game wrecker goes up against a double-team on most of his snaps. Philadelphia also flaunts one of the best offensive lines in football, so this was no easy matchup for Jones and the entire KC defensive line.<\/p>\n<p>Having said that, you\u2019d always like to see more of an impact from an athlete that\u2019s\u00a0earning over $31 million per year, and Jones understands that as much as anyone.\u00a0Similar to superstar quarterback Patrick Mahomes, this performance will no doubt motivate the integral disruptor in 2025.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Chiefs Kingdom Reacts to Chris Jones\u2019 End of Year Post<\/h2>\n<p>The Kansas City community mostly rallied around Jones in the comment section of this post.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCan\u2019t wait for next year man!\u201d\u00a0Arrowhead Live replied.<\/p>\n<p>Another KC fan\u00a0responded: \u201cIt was a fun run this year \u2764\ufe0f\ud83d\udc9b we appreciate you! Even though it didn\u2019t end the way we all wanted. \ud83d\ude4f\ud83c\udffc\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While a third also\u00a0voiced: \u201cThank you!! \u2764\ufe0f \ud83d\udc9b Wasn\u2019t the ending we all wanted but we\u2019re incredibly grateful and proud of everything y\u2019all have done for the team and city! Rest up champ! Can\u2019t wait to see you bounce back next season!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And a fourth\u00a0agreed: \u201cYup. Enjoy the off-season man. Thanks for another great ride. Feel bad for you guys ending so close to the peak of football history. So close.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Finally, one fan\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/jeremytvickers\/status\/1889072106660594063\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external\">noted<\/a>\u00a0that \u201cmy 13-year-old son proudly wears your jersey to school on red Fridays,\u201d while also thanking Jones for \u201ca great 9 seasons!\u201d The user finished by stating: \u201cGo Chiefs!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Although there has been a contingent of critics within the KC fanbase following the blowout Super Bowl loss, the large majority of supporters seem to mirror the comment section of Jones\u2019 message.
