Chris Jones wanted to stay in the game. There wasn’t anything on the line Sunday for the Kansas City Chiefs. However, the star defensive lineman needed a sack to reach double digits and achieve a $1.25 million bonus.
CBS reported in the third quarter that coach Andy Reid wanted Jones out of the game, not risking injury.
However, $1.25 million is a lot of money no matter who you are.
And about two-thirds of the way through the third quarter, Jones took down Easton Stick, and the celebration was on for the Chiefs.
CHRIS JONES GETS HIS BONUS! The whole @Chiefs sideline was HYPED for him.
