While Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce are the Kansas City Chiefs’ best players on offense, Chris Jones is the engine behind the Chiefs’ dominant defense. With Jones being a key piece in Kansas City’s efforts to slow down Josh Allen on Sunday, that means he gets plenty of attention, too.
And not all of it would be something he’s necessarily pleased with.
As the Chiefs’ battle with the Buffalo Bills shifted to the second quarter, CBS shared a montage that featured Jones weirdly crying on the sideline. It’s unclear why Jones was so worked up, but NFL fans never miss an opportunity to make jokes:

Honestly, I get the showcase for a star player being really invested in the game at hand. But showing Jones like that was so random, especially because he resembled “Crying Jordan.” No wonder so many memes flowed about this franchise player’s tears after the fact.
