Chris Jones played a key role in the Kansas City Chiefs’ defensive turnaround against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 12 after the team unexpectedly found itself down 14-0 in the first half.
During the Chiefs’ Wednesday press conference, Jones addressed the unit’s performance and explained how the defense turned things around to secure Kansas City its eighth win of this season.
“I think the defense just kind of homed in. Most importantly, we played fundamental football,” Jones said. “I think early on we got out of our gaps playing not like we’ve been usually playing over the course of this year. We were able to make a few adjustments, play fundamentally sound and wrap them up when we had the opportunity.”
The Chiefs defense only allowed three points in the game’s final two frames and managed to keep Raiders star Davante Adams from hauling in a single catch after he tallied five receptions for 73 yards in the first two quarters
